Black Forest Ham
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the refrigerated lunch-meat section or on a charcuterie board at a casual get-together — an easy pick for sandwiches, quick meals, or school lunches. It gives a nostalgic, comforting vibe of ham sandwiches and holiday leftovers, while promising convenient, evenly sliced, slightly smoky sweetness. The ingredient list and uniform texture point to cured and flavored processing (added sugars and a "natural flavor"), so it’s processed meat with some industrial touches rather than a raw cut.
