Alma Gourmet Speck Alto Adige IGP 5 lb

Description

Features:

• Speck Alto Adige IGP is made selecting only high quality raw materials and the best pork legs, sourced from pigs fed a specific diet and raised in a certain way. Each pork leg is carefully rubbed with a spice mix that includes salt, pepper, juniper berries, and bay leaves, and doesn't contain more than 5% of salt to meet the consortium's standards.
• One of the key contributors to the speck's unique flavor is the smoking process, which is typically done outside, following a special technique that incorporates "a little smoke, and lots of fresh mountain air." The smoking temperature must not exceed 68 F, otherwise the smoke won't be able to penetrate the meat.
• Speck is excellent served on its own as a savory snack or antipasto, as well as to create a meat and cheese board pairing slices of speck with cheeses like Piave DOP, which has light fruit flavors that contrast perfectly to the smokiness of the speck.
• In the kitchen, speck can be used in a variety of dishes. For an authentic South Tyrolean meal, you can use it to make canederli, bread dumplings typical of the Trentino Alto-Adige region. It also pairs well with red radicchio, eggs, and pasta dishes. Try wrapping a tomino boscaiolo in a slice of speck and grill it for 2/3 minutes per side, accompanied by pears and walnuts, for a mouthwatering appetizer!
