MILWAUKEE — Two well-known brands in Wisconsin, Bay View Brand and Badger Ham, introduced a partnership on the new Pickled Cubed Ham product.
The snack item uses Badger Ham’s premium pork cuts that are cured and cubed and then pickled in Bay View’s signature brine. The companies expect people to use the ham for charcuterie boards, a quick protein snack or a new ingredient in salads or recipes.
“Badger Ham has always been about delivering the best in quality and taste, and this partnership with Bay View is a natural fit,” said Quinn Schwellinger, vice president and fourth generation of Badger Ham. “Together, we’re offering a new way to enjoy ham — one that’s packed with flavor, ready to enjoy and uniquely Wisconsin.”
The cubed and pickled ham will debut on Jan. 1, 2025, and will be available in select stores and online.
Both companies touted the Wisconsin tradition of producing iconic foods and the potential for innovation in pickled items.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Badger Ham to bring something completely new to our customers,” said Drew Liebner, president of Bay View Packing Co. “This product celebrates our shared Wisconsin heritage and love for bold, quality flavors, while also giving consumers something convenient, versatile and utterly delicious.”
