Discover the exquisite flavor of Speck Alto Adige IGP, an authentic Italian delicacy crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail. This premium product is made from the finest pork legs, selected from pigs raised on a specific diet that enhances the quality of the meat. Each pork leg is expertly rubbed with a unique blend of spices, including salt, pepper, juniper berries, and bay leaves, ensuring that it contains no more than 5% salt to comply with consortium standards.

What makes Speck truly special is its distinct smoking process, which is typically conducted outdoors, where a combination of a little smoke and lots of fresh mountain air come together to create its signature flavor. To maintain the delicate taste, the smoking temperature is carefully monitored, ensuring it does not exceed 68°F, allowing the smoke to permeate the meat perfectly.

Whether enjoyed as an antipasto or as a savory snack on its own, Speck offers versatility in its culinary applications. Pair it with delectable cheeses like Piave DOP, which boasts light fruity flavors that beautifully complement the smokiness of the speck. It's also a fantastic addition to board platters, adding an irresistible savory note.

In the kitchen, let your imagination run wild! Use Speck in traditional South Tyrolean dishes like canederli (bread dumplings), or elevate your pasta recipes with its robust flavor. For a mouthwatering appetizer, wrap a tomino boscaiolo in a slice of Speck, grill to perfection, and pair it with sweet pears and crunchy walnuts.

Weighing approximately 5lb (2.3kg), this product is a true treasure from Italy that will transport your taste buds to the serene mountains of the Trentino Alto-Adige region.
