Young Ferdinand Schaller spent his early years working and honing his skills throughout Germany and the Alsace region, until he found himself apprenticing in Hamburg. From there he would set sail for America and meet Tony Weber, with whom he opened a butcher shop in New York City in 1937.

Today, Schaller & Weber remains a New York City institution with Ferdinand's grandson, Jeremy Schaller, at the helm. But while the times have changed, the techniques and craftsmanship remain the same, and the commitment to the recipes Ferdinand Schaller created has been globally recognized. In 2000, Schaller & Weber products entered 20 products in Welser Volksfest of Austria, and came home with 14 gold and six silver medals - a first for an American charcuterier.
