Minced meat in a jar, a North Hessian sausage speciality from the Ahle Wurscht pig

A typical North Hessian speciality from the Landfleischerei Opfer, made from the meat of the slowly raised Ahle Wurscht pig. Savoury, hearty and with the fine matured aroma of traditional sausage culture, a spreadable spread that captures the regional snack culture of North Hesse. For everyone who loves simply prepared, honest food, a little treasure in a jar.

How to use

A classic bread spread on rustic farmhouse bread, pumpernickel, hearty rolls and snack boards. A classic for a hearty snack, the Vesper break, the breakfast platter and the hunters' snack. A companion to cornichons, mustard, pickled onions, beer and, more often than you would think, to young cider. Also warm on toast with a little mustard, a hearty snack experience.
