Located in:Meats/Seafood, Hams
Black Kassel introduced us to this Alpine-style schinken. (Schinken is German for ham.) This full-flavored, lean ham is dry-cured and smoked. With its delicate texture, and thin slices, it is perfect on bread, with fruit, on an antipasto platter, or by itself.

Sliced paper thin, layered with deli paper, and packaged for freshness, this ham is extremely convenient and attractive to busy gourmet shoppers. The deli paper layering makes removal from the package simple. Other ideas: wrap the slices around chicken breasts or filets of pork or beef for a savory roast. Roll it up in a cordon bleu with High Alps or swiss cheese. Try it julienned in salads, eggs, or frittatas to add hint of smoke and salt.

I really enjoyed this product! I found it to be more enjoyable than most prosciutto I've had. The flavor was subtle and slightly salty and the texture pleasantly firm without being rubbery!
