Nueske's Applewood Smoked Meats - Corporate Office

Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Meats in Wittenberg, Wisconsin, is a historic, family-run meat market and producer of artisan smoked meat products, renowned for its traditional smoking techniques. The business traces its roots back to the 1930s when R.C. Nueske began producing applewood-smoked bacon using a family recipe brought from Europe.

That tradition continues to this day, with products that reflect old-world craftsmanship and flavor. Visitors to the company store and smokehouse can find a wide selection of premium applewood- and cherrywood-smoked meats, including bacon, hams, sausages, smoked poultry, and other specialty items, all hand-selected and slowly smoked over real hardwood embers to develop rich flavor and texture.

While best known for its award-winning bacon, Nueske’s offerings extend to smoked pork chops, specialty sausages, and smoked beef products that go well beyond typical supermarket meat counters.

Although the company also operates as a wholesale supplier and mail-order producer, the retail storefront in Wittenberg allows meat lovers to purchase directly from the smokehouse and experience an accurate butcher-style market with products steeped in generational expertise.
