We only use animals that live in the wild in the Apulian bassa Murgia for all our products, both for cured meats and butchered meats. Our products are processed using artisanal methods. The part used is pork belly or wild boar without the ribs.
Preparation Method
1st Phase: Salting
The bacon is boned and salted with pepper and natural flavourings for about 8 days. It is then washed with vin cotto*, after which it is dried with natural flavourings (pepper, chilli and forest herbs).
2nd Phase: Smoking
The product is smoked for at least one day with strawberry tree (an oak tree found only in the Pianelle di Martina Franca forest), thyme and rosemary.
3rd Phase: Seasoning
The bacon is matured inside a trullo for at least 60 days.

Raw materials: Wild pork from our forests and farms. The piece used is the belly of the pig.
How to pair it: with a nice first course: wholemeal Senatore Cappelli wheat maritati with Brindisi PGI artichokes, Torre canne regina tomatoes, pancetta tesa and smoked scamorza flakes.
A concentrate of aroma and flavour, it is obtained from the lean ventral part of the pig, salted and flavoured with pepper and other spices. When cut, the slice is characterised by the typical alternation of bright red and pinkish white layers. To the palate, the slice is soft with a tendency to melt, thanks to the presence of the fatty parts, which also determine the delicate and distinctly sweet flavour, not without the savouriness that makes the product particularly appetising.
