Crispy crackers made to our master butcher's secret recipe. First-class quality from Austria.
Meat knowledge
If the name says it all - then it can only be the Knackwurst. Because its trademark is the incomparable cracking sound it makes when you bite into it.
In order for this wonderful moment of sonic pleasure to occur, it has to be made perfectly. It requires finely chopped, emulsified sausage meat that is both firm and light. This is a craft that only a few Fitmeat master butchers have mastered.
How the Knackwurst became so popular
The Knackwurst is big, bold and has a lot of crunch! The Knackwurst also has a number of different names. It was popular mainly because of its relatively low price, which was necessary to enjoy it. This is why the Viennese jokingly refer to it as the 'civil servant's trout'.
The distinctive taste of Knackwurst
As well as the characteristic cracking sound, it is of course the taste that counts, and it is phenomenal. Our Knackwurst is classically made from beef and pork and refined with fine spices. A wonderfully fine and noble taste is guaranteed.
This makes it a must in any good sausage salad, vinegar sausage or as a delicious ingredient in potato bakes. Of course, if you want to eat it quickly, you can also enjoy it cold with a little mustard!
Herkunft und Haltung
Fitmeat prioritises the highest quality and species-appropriate animal husbandry. That's why 100% of the animals come from farms in the lake region of the Salzkammergut (Upper Austria).
As we distance ourselves from long transport routes and factory farming, we have the animals respectfully slaughtered individually by our partner butchers in the immediate vicinity of the farms (max. 15 minutes transport time) or directly on the farm.
We also have close and personal contact with the farmers and work exclusively with butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally. Our master butchers cut each animal into its prime cuts and allow them to mature in a targeted manner. This applies not only to our steaks, but also to our ham, sausage and bacon!
These are carefully prepared and refined by hand by our master butchers according to the original recipe. The result? Sausage, bacon and ham for a tasty snack between meals.
