Austria’s traditional ham favorite. Hand-crafted and refined with spices according to our family recipe. Traditionally smoked over beechwood. Delicately rustic and particularly succulent.
Our Carinthian Farmer’s Ham, called "Kärntner Bauernschinken", is hand-crafted according to tradition with only the best, 100% local pork. The secret to this ham specialty lies in its exquisite spice blend, which is mixed in house following a well-kept family secret. According to Carinthian tradition, farmer’s ham is gently smoked and carefully cooked so that it is not over- or underdone. A specially-designed smoking method guarantees exquisite succulence and tenderness just as it used to be. First-class, mildly aromatic with delicately rustic notes - a real ham treat of the highest quality!
TIP: Excellent for breakfast, on a sandwich, for a child’s snack, or sliced thinly for a classic cold cut plate or a gourmet tray. Ideal also as an ingredient in the kitchen for ham rolls with truffle-potato cream, hand-rolled Carinthian ham dumplings, or classic ham noodles.

The Frierss family maintains its ham tradition to the highest standard.
With utmost care, experienced ham specialists handcraft first-rate Carinthian Farmer’s Ham "Kärntner Bauernschinken", Carinthian Country Ham "Kärntnerland Schinken", and Carinthian Mountain Ham "Kärntner Bergschinken" using only carefully-selected local pork and refined with our traditional spice blends. Seasonal gourmet hams are refined with choice ingredients. The proven cooking method gives these hams their unmistakable succulence and tenderness.
What makes our Frierss’ hams so special?
Only fresh, local pork is the basis for Frierss’ ham specialties. The Frierss family relies solely on pigs from small-scale enterprises in Carinthia, Styria, and Upper Austria. In their own in-house dissection department, experienced butchers professionally divide the pigs into select pieces following exact specifications before they are cleaned with great care. Only after a very specific quality test are these pieces further separated for Frierss’ products.
Our hams are cured and refined with special spice blends using our family recipes. Some of the traditional spice mixes come from our grandfather’s time and have remained well-kept family secrets for generations. These spice compositions give each individual ham its distinctive taste.
Gourmet hams are refined with choice ingredients, such as the Nock Country Whiskey Ham with its single malt whiskey from Bad Kleinkirchheim or the Truffle Ham with its carefully-minced black truffles. With great attention to detail some hams are finished with seasonings by hand.
Subsequently the hams are manually pressed into special forms. In this process the exact positioning of the pieces is very important in order to guarantee consistent quality and form.
The hams are carefully cooked to perfection - not under- and not overcooked. In order to achieve this, constant supervision and the highest precision are required using the most modern of technology. The temperature during the cooking process must be constantly checked as it, along with the time cooked, are the deciding factors in the quality of the ham. Finally, some of the hams, particularly the rustic ham specialties of Carinthian tradition, are gently smoked over natural beechwood or carefully broiled in a convection oven. Our specifically-designed smoking-cooking method, which we developed decades ago, gives Frierss’ hams their exceptional succulence and tenderness.
Only when the strictest quality criteria have been fulfilled do the hams get Frierss’ seal of approval!
Wherever you see Frierss, you know there is quality inside.
