Mühlenhof Schwarzwälder Schinken

Mühlenhof is a prominent private label brand exclusively owned by the German retail giant Penny, which is a subsidiary of the REWE Group. This specific product is Schwarzwälder Schinken (Black Forest Ham), which is a protected geographical indication (PGI) product. This status means the ham must be traditionally and at least partially manufactured in the Black Forest region of Germany.

While the brand Mühlenhof serves as Penny's in-house label for meat and sausage products, the physical production is carried out by various contract manufacturers across Germany. The brand focuses on transparency regarding animal welfare, as seen by the 'Haltungsform' and 'Initiative Tierwohl' labels on the packaging. As of 2026, the brand remains an integral part of REWE Group's strategy to provide high-quality, locally sourced meat products to the German market.
