If you’ve ever stopped in at our Company Store in Wittenberg, Wisconsin, you’ve seen our large refrigerated case filled of some of Wisconsin’s tastiest cheeses and have likely had the opportunity to sample some of the finest cheeses that our state has to offer: aged cheddars, bricks, parmesans, and the new blues.  We decided to [...]

Thanks to everyone who judged this year’s N.A.S.F.T. (National Association for the Specialty Food Trade) sofi Awards.  We were very happy to receive a Gold sofi Award in the category of “Perishable Foodservice Product” for our Applewood Smoked Boneless Chicken Breasts.  The awards ceremony took place at the Summer Fancy Food Show in Washington, D.C., [...]

Our Applewood Smoked Pepper-Coated Bacon is a terrific bacon for cooking with, especially this time of year.  We create our “pepper bacon” just like our classic Applewood Smoked Bacon; with specially-selected, hand-trimmed bellies that get our signature long, slow smoke in the Nueske family’s smokehouses, over glowing embers of sweet Wisconsin applewood. The step that [...]

It’s unseasonably warm here in Wisconsin right now.   We’re looking at highs in the 70’s (80 today!) when we should still be expecting winter weather warnings and temperatures still in the 30s… not that you’ll catch us complaining.  All this warm weather makes us want to haul the grill out and cook as many meals [...]

Anyone who’s hosting a Thanksgiving meal this year is probably about to get into full swing. There’s a lot of planning that can go into a meal like this one. Most of us stick with our old stand-bys. There’s nothing wrong with that, but we have something that might be new to you – and [...]

Recently, we’ve had quite a few people call us asking for an even thicker slice of bacon than our classic sliced Applewood Smoked Bacon – which was no slouch in the thickness department as it was.  In the past, we would have suggested that these individuals buy a piece of our unsliced slab bacon and [...]

Nueske’s slow-smokes our chickens over smoldering embers of Wisconsin Applewood until they are perfectly smoky and sweet.  The flavor is incomparable but the best part about our plump Applewood Smoked Chickens and Chicken Breasts is that they’re ready to eat – no cooking is needed, so you don’t need to heat up the kitchen on a [...]

Spring has always meant certain things to us, here at Nueske’s.  The obvious correlation between this crocus-filled transitional season and smoked meats is the demand for Easter hams… but for everyone who works here, we’ve been waiting for something else.  We know that spring is the time for kielbasa.  In many Polish households, kielbasa is [...]

This time of year, we create a whole host of big, beautiful hams for the center of your table.  We’re proud to make one of the most popular Easter dishes around.  All of our hams are applewood smoked in the traditional Nueske’s manner and are ready to serve, too – just warm them gently.  These [...]

Our Peppered Bacon Bread is a golden loaf of bread with a thick, chewy crust and an interior filled with bubbly, slightly sour dough enhanced with bits of zesty black tellicherry peppercorns and savory pieces of our Applewood Smoked Peppered Bacon.  Simply cut into slices, toasted, and buttered; this bread is a winner.  If you [...]
