Mitchell's Black Forest-style ham

Mitchell's Black Forest-Style Ham is a type of cured and smoked ham originating from the Black Forest region in Germany, renowned worldwide for its distinctive flavor and juicy texture. This ham is characterized by a traditional curing process that includes salting, smoking with fir or beechwood, and a slow maturation period, which gives it a deep aroma and a slightly sweet, smoky flavor.

Mitchell's Black Forest Ham is valued in cooking for its versatility and intense flavor, ideal for use in sandwiches, salads, cold and hot dishes, or as part of charcuterie boards. Its artisanal process guarantees exceptional quality and a unique touch that sets this ham apart from other cured meat products.

Origin: Although traditional Black Forest ham is German, Mitchell's variety is a high-quality interpretation produced outside of Europe, respecting classic techniques. The Mitchell brand is recognized for maintaining the product's authenticity, adapted for international markets.

Properties: This ham is a good source of high-quality protein, healthy fats, and minerals such as iron and zinc. As a cured product, its sodium content is high, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation. Additionally, due to the smoking method, it provides aromatic compounds that enhance the flavor without the need to add artificial preservatives.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Depending on the region, it may be referred to simply as jamón ahumado estilo Selva Negra, jamón Black Forest, or also jamón a la Selva Negra. In some Latin American countries, the term jamón ahumado is often used to describe similar, though not identical, products.
