Our “Turmschinken” (Castle Ham)!
Ham – the word itself stands for drawing-on-unlimited-resources. Even in the story of the Land of Cockaigne ham was hanging down from trees and if you believe an Italian saying everything is over and done as soon as there is no ham in the house. And - if the pig, the origin of all ham, is well fed, the human doesn’t live in want.
The quality standards for wine have lately been applied to Southeast Styrian ham too. The secret recipe with sea salt, coarsely grinded pepper and different herbs has been used for our Riegersburger Castle Ham since 1952. The recipe comes from the Friuli aristocratic family of the Formentinis. In order to secure the high quality standards for our ham we teamed up with the company Schirnhofer in Kaindorf. The ham matures between 12, 16 and 24 months in the fresh and dry air above the stone cellar gate of the Riegersburg. The result are about 600 pieces of raw ham every year which can easily compete with those of San Daniele and Parma: as soft as butter, salty, aromatic and just perfect…….wonderful.
