Culatello di Zibello kg 1.5 approx
DescriptionThe Culatello of Zibello Negroni ris.
Peck is considered the king of salted meats and it is said that its production has been known since the year 1000.
Like all myths, the culatello has its legend.
Key for the making of culatello is the area in which it is produced: generally the region below Parma, or, more specifically, Zibello.
The quality of the culatello has to be maintained since its origin.
There are four main points that one must consider: the health of the swine, its breed, alimentation, and butchering.
The swine required for the transformation in seasoned culatellos of Zibello have to fournish meat with particular characteristics of consistency and maturity.
These characteristics are found exclusively in swine between the age of 11 and 12 months with a very high weight (160-180 kg), and preferably in the Lange White and Landrace breeds.
The breed, age, maturity of the meat, and nourishment based on whey and maize meal are all of key importance.
Once butchered, dissected, and insulated, the fat is removed from the prosciutto and it is prepared for the slicing of the culatello.
The thigh is cut to its base, removing the nut (fiocco/noce), and then salted.
The product is then covered with a pig's bladder, tied as a work of art, marked with the date, and then put in a cellar to rest (this is followed by the drying and the pre-seasoning).
At this time the culatello is ready for seasoning.
It is the long time needed to make it, along with the quality of the meat, that makes the culatello a true specialty.
The seasoning lasts 12 months through which the culatello is loved, cherished, turned, turned again, inspected to detect the amount of flavouring, humidity, and the consistency.
This art produces something unique due to its colour, smell, and taste. | | | Origin Zone | Parma | | Gross Weight | 2 Kg | | Net Weight | 1.50 Kg | | Produced by | | | Shipping in Japan | No | | Shipping in USA | No | | Shipping in China | No |
