salmon ham

Salmon ham—the name alone represents exclusive enjoyment for all the senses. This tender piece of meat has a particularly appetizing color, and the delicate, aromatic aroma represents an aroma that will literally make your mouth water. It's no wonder that buying salmon ham is so popular with lovers of high-quality meat and sausage products. And that's where we come in, the traditional Freyberger butcher shop in Nuremberg, Franconia. With our high standards of origin and processing, we have made a name for ourselves far beyond Nuremberg's borders. Our regular customers appreciate our quality, selection, and service and also enjoy purchasing conveniently in our online shop. Salmon ham—do you actually know what that is? We'd be happy to help you with a little product information.

Here, too, it's the cut of pork used that inspires the name. Nussschinken has nothing to do with nuts; this delicious sausage is made from a part of the pork ham. Known as "Nuss," but also "Blume" or "Ball," the region around the upper ball joint of the pork rump is used to make Nussschinken. Unlike Lachsschinken, Nussschinken is also available as cured cooked ham—another important distinguishing feature.

Is this a smoked ham? And why does the name include "salmon"? Even though the term suggests this, salmon ham is actually not a ham. And this delicious specialty has nothing to do with salmon, a type of fish. Let us clarify: Salmon ham is not made from the leg of the pig, as is usual with ham, but from the loin. This section of pork is also called salmon, hence the term "salmon ham." When processing this popular specialty, our quality butcher shop places great emphasis on particularly gentle smoking and salting.
