Adler Schwarzwälder Schinken

Adler Schwarzwälder Schinken is a traditional Black Forest ham produced in the heart of the Black Forest region in Germany. This product holds a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, ensuring that it is produced using traditional methods within that specific mountainous region. The ham is cured with sea salt and spices before being cold-smoked over local coniferous wood, which provides its distinctive aroma and dark color.

The brand is owned by Adler Schwarzwald GmbH & Co. KG, a family-owned enterprise that has been operating since 1920. Based in Bonndorf, Germany, the company specializes in high-quality meat products rooted in regional heritage. While available internationally through various retailers (such as Lidl in Denmark), the brand remains under the controlled management of the founding Adler family, maintaining its focus on traditional German charcuterie craftsmanship.
