Is this normal pricing for Walliser Trockenfleisch or increase due to inflation? It was among the most expensive among all the cured meat offerings.

4. Yeah that’s pretty normal.

5. At this price go for the real deal at least.

6. Normal

7. I recommend Bünderfleisch as a drop in replacement!

8. Wow, more expensive than Italian prosciutto crudo and almost as expensive than Spanish patanegra.

9. Welcome to Switzerland.

10. Cured meat is pretty mich expensive here. But it’s also not meant to be eaten by the bulk.

    They contain, like many processed meat products, curing agents (gepökelt, nitropökelsaz) E249 or E250.

    They are great for food safety but you shouldn’t eat too much of it. And you certainly shouldn’t fry anything having these in (it makes pretty unhealthy reactions above 150°C).

    So, a high price is ok. It’s good meat and you eat just a few grams per day.

    For your protein intake, it’s better to get a good piece of meat once or twice a week. Like a steak, or ossobucco, or make a carbonara with roasted bone marrow.

11. I work in a small village butcher in wallis. The price for our viande séchée IGP is 87.50 Kg trench and 77.50 Kg in pieces. You should know that in two years the price of meat has increased by 3-4 francs per kilo of fresh meat. And i insist on the fresh meat because during the drying process we lose 40/50 % of the initial weight. So yes unfortunately it is normal that is so expensive.

12. Unfortunately these prices are normal. That’s why we are trying to buy them in blocks (either at a butcher’s shop or directly at the farmers markets) and slice them at home.

    For example, non sliced block will cost you 80 to 90 CHF/kg and 100 to 110 CHF/kg sliced…

13. It’s normal price of Viand Séchée

14. The cow would probably argue that her body and life are worth more than that

15. Go vegetarian and integrate meat just once a week or in very special occasions, your wallet will be happy.

16. Don’t eat meat, problem solved. The environment and animals will be grateful

17. switzerland inflation is like 2 or 3%

18. No no no the government told us there’s only 2.9% inflation so that must be the absolute truth !

19. Salmon and Bündnerfleisch changed from 100Fr per Kilo to around 120Fr in the last 3-4 years.

20. Welcome to switzerland

21. It’s the same here in Sweden when you want dried raindeer meat. Bought some today at 110€ /kilo. I know it a process to make it and that the weight goes down quite a lot when dried but still…

22. Yeah this is normal but it’s getting ridiculous. I never get the premium viande séchée always the M-budget or prix garantie one
