Description
Black Forest Ham is one most famous hams in America, and the style as we know it was created by Ferdinand Schaller nearly a century ago. He knew that the methods he’d learned in Germany for preparing a schwarzwälder schinken, which involved an extended curing processes, wouldn’t be able to keep up with the demands of hungry New Yorkers. Putting his chacuterier training to work, he experimented until he settled on a ham that is smoked and then molasses-dipped for rich color and a touch of sweetness. The black forest ham was born, and for 80 years it’s been a staple at the Schaller & Weber store and a favorite among our customers.
9-pound ham.
