Landjäger

Landjäger is a traditional German and Swiss smoked sausage made from pork and beef, mixed with spices, salt, and sometimes vodka, then pressed into a casing and dried. It has a firm texture and a smoky, mildly spicy flavor. Typically sliced thin and enjoyed as a snack or on the go, Landjäger is known for its portability and long shelf life, making it popular in outdoor activities and as an accompaniment to bread and cheese. Its balanced seasoning and dry nature make it a distinctive and convenient cured sausage choice in Central European cuisine.
