sliced meat in packages
This is to be written as the name of the product on the front of the sealed package of Nuss-Schniken slices. So, there's no context as such.

Selected
Speciality Smoked Ham
I don't think its really something that can be translated directly, but see this page for some info. It seems to be quite a good description.

Comment: "Nuss-Schinken seems to be a smoked dry-cured ham. A lot of people would say we should leave the German name as it is but I think an English-speaking person who might have learned some German at school would read the name on the package as "nut ham" and not know what kind of meat to expect."

Riesling
: "Nuss" bezieht sich auf das Teilstück, aus dem der Schinken hergestellt wird, nicht die Herkunft oder das Herstellungsverfahren

Ich würde es stehen lassen. Auch Prosciutto behält seinen italienischen Namen.

Westphalian ham A German ham that is made from hogs, which are fed acorns and raised in the Westphalia forest in Germany. The ham is dry cured and the smoked slowly over beechwood and juniper wood. The slow smoking process creates a dark golden pink, dense ham that has a mild smoky flavor. Westphalian ham is one of the best and is quite expensive. It is generally cut into thin slices and served raw.

My only problem with that is that the company producing this meat is in Saxony so it might be risky or too narrowing to refer to it as Westphalian ham.
