description Lachs Schinken Overview
Lachs Schinken, translating to "salmon ham," is a traditional German cured meat product made from lean pork loin. It is cold-smoked over an extended period, which, combined with the nitrite curing process, gives the cooked or raw ham a distinct pinkish-red hue similar to that of smoked salmon. The preparation yields a tender, mildly smoky flavor profile, distinguishing it from traditional wet-cured hams. It is typically sliced very thin and consumed cold as a deli meat or served on bread and rolls.
