Schmalz's Hildesheimer Schmierliverwurst

Tan casing, 8 oz chub. Schmierleberwurst — literally "smearing liver sausage" — is the soft, spreadable German liverwurst, as opposed to the firmer sliceable kind. Hildesheimer names the style after Hildesheim in Lower Saxony. Rich, smooth and strongly livery; eaten thick on dark rye with mustard or pickled onion.

The vitamin A figure is remarkable: 180% of a day's value in a 2 oz serving — nearly double the Gaiser's goose liver spread on the same shelf, and an exceptionally high vitamin A figure. 30% of a day's iron as well. Liver delivers both, and this one is concentrated.

Eaten thick on dark rye — the Delba and Mestemacher breads are made for it.
