Black Forest Ham
What You Should Know
You'd find this Black Forest ham in the deli or refrigerated lunchmeat aisle, pulled out for quick weekday sandwiches, charcuterie boards, or picnic packs. It reads nostalgic and convenient — moist, slightly smoky slices with a hint of sweetness — and the ingredient list (cured pork, salts, sugars, water, and “natural flavor”) points to traditional curing and light industrial processing rather than a minimally processed whole food.
