Black forest ham is a type of meat that is made from pig. The pig is raised in a special way in an area in Germany called the Black Forest. Then, the meat is cured using salt and other seasonings. Curing means that the meat is preserved with these special ingredients so that it lasts longer and tastes better. After it is cured, the meat is cooked and smoked using special wood from trees in the Black Forest. This gives the ham a unique flavor that is different from other types of ham. You can eat black forest ham by itself or you can put it on a sandwich or in a salad.
