köttig

Köttig is a German and Dutch term that refers to a type of meat product, typically made from pork or beef. The term is derived from the German word for "fatty" or "meaty", which accurately describes the product's characteristics. Köttig products are often coarse, dense, and high in fat content, making them a popular choice for those seeking a hearty and filling snack or meal component.

In Germany, köttig is often used to describe a type of pork product, similar to a bologna or salami, made from a mixture of meats and spices. The product is often sliced thinly and served cold, either on its own as a snack or used as an ingredient in various dishes, such as sandwiches, salads, or pasta sauces.

In the Netherlands, köttig is also used to describe a type of ground meat product, typically made from beef or pork. The product is often mixed with various spices and seasonings, then shaped into small balls or patties before being cooked and served. Öttig-based dishes are common in Dutch cuisine, particularly in regional variations such as stamppot or_linesoaker.

Köttig products are often associated with traditional European cuisine, and their rich flavors and textures have become popular worldwide. The term is often used interchangeably with other meat product designations, such as "farmer's sausage" or "country ham". However, in general, soft köttig refers to a more rustic, homespun approach to meat processing, emphasizing simplicity and authenticity over innovation and prestige.
