Oskar Saxl

Oskar’s fascination with the profession of butcher began in his childhood. He was lucky to
have watched his father at work whenever possible, which gave him insights into the craft at
an early age.

Red Delicious x Bresaola

A unique combination of fruity sweetness and hearty seasoning. When paired with bresaola, the Red Delicious creates a balanced, mouth-watering taste sensation, as the flavours of the two ingredients harmonise perfectly with each other.

Fuji x Speck

The combination of the sweet and juicy Fuji apple and salty, smoky speck is simply unforgettable. It creates a perfect balance between the refreshing apple and the compact flavour of the speck.

Golden Delicious x Kaminwurz

Unconventional but tasty – these words best describe the combination of Golden Delicious and Kaminwurz, a regional dry-cured sausage. The aromatically sweet apple has found the ideal companion in spicy Kaminwurz, as the pairing has a surprisingly perfect flavour.

Royal Gala x Schinken

Sweetness and acidity in harmony! The juicy firmness of the Royal Gala apple is an optimal match for soft boiled ham. In combination with cured ham, the apple also creates a delicious pairing.

Granny Smith x Salami

Opposites attract! The refreshingly sour Granny Smith apple finds a harmonious counterpart in the intensive seasoning of salami. Together, they form a balanced combination that delights both the palate and the senses.

Oskar’s favourite apple

Oskar thinks the Golden Delicious apple is very special. After all, its balanced relationship between pleasant acidity and light sweetness never ceases to fascinate him. Further, the apple harmonises perfectly with his favourite type of sausage: Kaminwurz.
