Colonnata IGP lard 500g

IGP cured meat with protected geographical indication typical of Colonnata, a small village in the Apuan Alps under the municipality of Carrara. It is produced with seasoned lard from pigs in marble basins of Carrara.

With a moist appearance and a slightly pinkish white color, it has a homogeneous and soft texture. The flavor is delicate and fresh, almost sweet, with a fragrant aroma.

CURIOSITIES

The marble of Carrara is also used to preserve food. From the marble, basins are made in which the slices of pig lard and the salt with herbs: pepper, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, sage, rosemary are alternately layered. The basins, rubbed with garlic, have specific temperatures and humidity, which gives the finished product unique characteristics.
