Speck Alto Adige PGI Squadrì 500g - Mendelspeck

The Speck Alto Adige IGP Squadrì di Mendelspeck is an excellence of Alto Adige, made following the ancient traditions of the region. This product is obtained from the processing of the pork hind leg, from which the bone and the fillet are removed, and then shaped into a slightly squared form. The meat is salted and flavored with a mixture of spices and natural herbs, before being gently smoked with beech wood. The subsequent aging, which lasts several months, allows for the development of a balanced flavor, with light but distinctive smoky notes.

Speck Alto Adige PGI Squadrì 500g - Mendelspeck: How is it produced

The production of speck follows an attentive and precise artisanal process. The first phase takes place at the Mendelspeck facility in Termeno, along the Wine Road. Here, the raw material is selected based on weight and quality, and each piece is hand-massaged to ensure an even distribution of salt and spices. After light smoking, the speck is transferred to the Passo di San Lugano, at about 1000 meters altitude, where it is aged in ideal climatic conditions.
