Details

Add a distinct, Old World flavor to your offerings with Recla dry-cured smoked speck Alto Adige PGI! This authentic speck ham comes from the Vinschgau Valley in Alto Adige, Italy, where the cold, breezy climate is perfect for crafting cured meats. This PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) ham is made from carefully selected pork and processed by master butchers in accordance with strict regulations to ensure a high-quality product. The red meat is beautifully marbled with white fat, expertly trimmed, and encased in a blend of salt and spices such as paprika that has been passed down for generations. The ham is dry cured for a minimum of 22 weeks in the pure, dry air of the surrounding glaciers. Once it has been thoroughly cured, the speck is then carefully cold smoked using beech wood to preserve the nutrients. This centuries-old process results in authentic speck ham that boasts a delicate, spicy, and smoky flavor with a light and refined aroma.

Shave this speck into delicate slices and showcase it on among your establishment's selection of charcuterie. Its distinct flavor pairs perfectly with a glass of crisp, subtly sweet Riesling wine that cuts through the spice and smokiness. Arrange it on a charcuterie board alongside pickled vegetables, olives, and mustards to create a visually striking and deliciously complex appetizer that is sure to be a hit. You can also wrap individual slices around fresh melon for a delicious sweet and salty combination or layer it atop a bruschetta crostini. In addition to serving this speck on charcuterie boards or as a mouthwatering hors d'oeuvre, it's perfect for chopping up and adding to creamy risotto and pasta.
