Baden shoulder of pork without bone
Schäufele is a traditional dish in Baden for holidays and special occasions.
In southern Baden it is usually eaten on Christmas Eve , traditionally with potato and lamb's lettuce.
We use only select pork shoulders from our own butchery and those from our partner farms. Hand-cured in a mild brine of rock salt, garlic, and various herbs, the piece is then gently smoked in our hot smokehouse until golden yellow.
