And that is available from village inns to star restaurants in every place in the huge holiday region. Let yourself be surprised by the fine fragrance and taste nuances of the Black Forest ham. Black Forest ham from Hermann Wein GmbH & Co. KG - © Hermann Wein GmbH & Co. KG Real Black Forest ham is a delicacy. It comes from the most valuable piece of the pig, the hind leg.
