T-Speck

Creel & Gambrel brings the flavour of the Tyrolean Alps to you! Our Tiroler Schinkenspeck is created from a very lean portion of boneless ham covered on one side with an even layer of rind. After curing, the hams are gently smoked, using low-resin maple chips at a carefully monitored low temperature. This ensures the meat remains sweet and takes on a mildly smoky flavour to compliment the distinctive seasoning. For those unfamiliar with this particular variety of cured, smoked pork; think of Schinkenspeck as somewhere between ham and bacon. Sliced thinly, it takes on the delicious virtues of prosciutto with hints of wood smoke. Put your own twist on a B.L.T., a Germanic Croque-Monsieur, or simply pair with good, crusty bread and your favorite cheese.
