Graubünden air dried beef from Parpan near Lenzerheide

The Brügger family have been creating air dried beef in a class of its own. For four generations and over 100 years the family has been running their professional cured meat factory near Lenzerheide. Great-grandfather Engelhard Brügger is considered to be the founder of the craft.

The meat pieces known as «Stolzenstück» are rubbed with salt, alpine herbs and a special mix of spices. The ingredients are a very well kept secret and each factory has a different recipe.

Unlike many other factories, in Parpan the meat is cured in the clear, dry mountain air: First on a balcony for a week, and then in drying rooms in the family business.

During the following maturing process, the meat pieces are pressed from both sides multiple times, creating it's characteristic square shape. It also helps the liquid distribute evenly in the meat.

Another tip: In order for the delicacy to develop its full aroma, take it out of the refrigerator at least an hour before you plan to enjoy it. The extensive production process takes time, so make sure you take time to enjoy the product.
