About Mett

Mett is a German preparation of finely minced raw pork, commonly seasoned with salt and sometimes pepper or other seasonings. It is soft and spreadable, with a fresh meat colour that may range from pink to red. It is sold either plain or already seasoned, and the precise seasoning varies by region and butcher.

It is traditionally served uncooked, often spread on bread or rolls, and is distinct from cooked minced pork and from cured or smoked pork products. Because it is raw minced meat, handling and freshness are central to its use. Packaged and butcher-prepared forms may differ in seasoning, fat content, and how finely the meat is ground.
