German Pork Black Forest Ham or 'Schwarzwaelder Schinken' derives it's name from the European Black Forest region of Germany, where it was first produced. However, in the U.S. the name is suggestive of the ham's outer color and preparation style, selling their own version of this German delight. A similar variety is the Italian Prosciutto di Parma from the Parma region of Italy. Enjoy as-is or add to soups, sandwiches and more�the world in a bite!
