Juniper-Cured Ham Tips | Our Quality Standards & Nutritional Values
A key factor in quality is the choice of cut. We use only “Kaiserstück” and ham round cuts from the Lachse, sourced from controlled Austrian farms — wonderfully lean, short-grained, and naturally tender.
The gentler the short smoking and the more undisturbed the air-drying, the more the essential oils of the juniper come through. Thanks to the fine slicing, the ham practically melts on the palate.
A genuine tasting tip for the best flavour:
- Let the sliced juniper-cured ham sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes before eating — this lets the delicate juniper bouquet fully unfold.
- Once opened, keep it well wrapped in the fridgeRipened cheese likes it cool and moist. The best is a temperature of about 8-10 ° C at about 90% humidity. » More info and enjoy within a few days.
- Pairs beautifully with crusty farmhouse bread, mild goat cheese, grapes, or a fine fig mustard.
- If you notice tiny white specks on the surface, that’s usually just natural sea salt crystallising during the slow air-drying process — a hallmark of genuine artisan maturing.
