A milestone of Italian taste, the princess of deli meats. Noble and generous, it is fragrant joy that melts in the mouth. Select meats and spices, stuffed, tied off by hand and cooked slowly for about 30 hours. The pink slices dotted with lard have a silky appearance and smooth texture. Subtly perfumed with a sweet and delicate taste, it leaves the mouth clean, inviting yet another slice.
Cutting it into thin slices releases all its fragrance. An extremely versatile deli meat, it goes well with a selection of other deli meats served with a platter of fresh sweet and sour tasting vegetables or oven-baked peppers. If you like to experiment, try interesting parings with fruit. Classically married with sparkling wines, it makes a fascinating pairing with Sicilian Alcamo DOC, a non-sparkling, dry, slightly fruity white that enhances the product and leaves the palate with an agreeably fresh sensation.
