Black Forest Ham

Black Forest Ham is cured for several weeks and smoked with Black Forest fir tree wood. Most Schinken is allowed to cure for 12 weeks but many German companies allow the Schinken to cure much longer, resulting in a superior Schinken of the highest quality. Black Forest Schinken is deliciously smokey with an enticing aroma.

Schinken

Black Forest Schinken is always sliced paper thin and can replace Italian prosciutto in any recipe. Traditionally served on German Rye, with a thin smear of German Mustard. Today we are paring smokey Black Forest Ham with sweet, creamy  Honey Goat Cheese and fresh baby Spinach leaves. I love the way ciabatta rolls crisp up on a panini press, so that is what I usually go with. A thin smear of mustard is optional, but recommended:)
