Appenzeller Mostbröckli - Cured, Smoked Beef

The Appenzeller Mostbröckli is a meat specialty from Switzerland. It is a cured, smoked and dried piece of beef, which is dried after smoking and salting.

Mostbröckli is produced in the two cantons of Appenzell Ausserrhoden and Appenzell Innerrhoden as well as in the parts of the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland bordering to the north. The Alpstein forms the natural boundary of the production area. Mostbröckli is consumed mainly in all of Switzerland, served cold and thinly sliced. In contrast to the Bündnerfleisch and the Valais dried meat, the Mostbröckli is smoked for several hours before drying, which is what gives it its typical smoky taste.

Mostbröckli originally comes from Appenzellerland in eastern Switzerland and was either seasoned with sour apple cider (fermented apple juice) or enjoyed with it. The Mostbröckli name is explained on the one hand by the fact that Mostbröckli is usually consumed together with a glass of apple cider. An Appenzeller butcher gave another interpretation: Because the tenderest beef was not always used in the past, apple cider was added when salting. The acidity of the apple juice made the meat tender.

Appenzell meat specialties from Suttero are produced today with the same dedication and attention to detail as they have been for over 100 years. The basis for this is Otto Sutter's philosophy from 1909.

During production, our master butchers only use the best cuts of Swiss meat and selected spices. The products mature over several weeks into an incomparable meat specialty - and delight you with their unique aroma.
