About Ossenworst

Ossenworst is a traditional Dutch delicacy originating from Amsterdam, initially made from raw, smoked beef. The modern version typically uses finely ground beef seasoned with spices like cloves, nutmeg, and pepper, giving it a rich, hearty flavor. Traditionally, the beef was cold-smoked, though contemporary preparation often involves curing or light cooking for added food safety. Ossenworst is high in protein, making it a satisfying snack or ingredient in sandwiches and salads. However, it can also be high in sodium and saturated fats due to curing processes and spices, which may be a concern for those watching their heart health. It’s a unique part of Dutch cuisine that showcases the country's history of preserving meats, offering a convenient yet indulgent option for savory dishes or charcuterie platters. Enjoy in moderation alongside fresh, healthy sides.
