PROCESSING
The processing of Speck begins with the preparation of the so-called “baffe”: during this phase, the pig thighs are cut and completely deboned before smoking, unlike the process performed to produce cured ham. After, the meat is also divided into pieces and the extra fat is removed. At this point, the pieces are seasoned with salt, pepper, juniper and other natural aromas and left to marinate for about 30 days.
At the end of this phase, the Speck is smoked in special rooms, using the smoke released from chimneys fed with beech chips and juniper berries, which give the Speck its typical aroma. After about 10 days from the beginning of the smoking process, the maturing phase finally begins and lasts several weeks.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
A combination of scents, intense but balanced aromas, and sweet notes: this is Seasoned Speck. It is an unmistakable product with ancient origins. In fact, traces of its existence can be found in documents dating back to 1200. In ancient times, South Tyrolean farmers produced Speck in order to preserve the meat for family consumption for a longer time. In fact, smoking made it possible to preserve the meat of pigs slaughtered in winter throughout the year. Today, Speck is still made according to the ancient recipes handed down from ancestors for over 100 years. Over time, Speck has become one of the most popular festive dishes and it is the most famous food of South Tyrol. It is a unique product, not only because of the type of processing it undergoes but, above all, because of the magic that lies behind this food.
