TIE NUESKE'S APPLEWOOD SMOKED MEATS Nueske's Applewood Smoked Boneless Chicken Breast "MY FAMILY STILL USES THE SAME METHODS THAT MY GRANDFATHER did for smoking our meats," says Tanya Nueske, executive vice president and national sales manager for Nueske's Applewood Smoked Meats. "We smoke over genuine logs of Wisconsin applewood in custom-built smokehouses." Third-generation family-owned and operated, Nueske's Applewood Smoked Meats was founded in 1933, when R.C. Nueske drove across northern Wisconsin to peddle bacon and hams that were prepared Old World–style in his family smokehouse. Even during the heart of the Depression, "people were willing to spend money on meats that were so delicious and of such high quality," Nueske says. The business has since expanded beyond pork products—and with solid results. The Gold Award–winning Smoked Boneless Chicken Breast is suffused with "an unmatched sweet, rich smoke that permeates the entire breast," Nueske says. That smoke is the family's signature mark and what makes their chicken breast unique. "Slow and steady smoking, no shortcuts, genuine artisan meats … that's what you can expect from Nueske's." The boneless chicken breasts are ready to eat right out of the package, so they're a cinch for chefs and home cooks to prepare in salads, soups, sandwiches and more. Available in bulk foodservice packs (six 8-ounce pieces per package, 8 packages per case) and in single-breast petal packages (8 ounces), they are part of Nueske's poultry line, which includes whole chickens, as well as smoked duck, turkey and pheasant. Foodservice price: $7.25–$8/pound. Contact: Megan Dorsch, Nueske's Applewood Smoked Meats; 715.253.4006; mdorsch@nueske.com; nueskes.com.—L.S.L.
