Speck Alto Adige DOP

Delicately smoked and air-cured to perfection, Speck is a unique Italian prosciutto with a bold Alpine twist. Hailing from the mountainous region of Alto Adige in Northern Italy, this PDO-certified specialty is made from premium pork legs, carefully seasoned with a blend of juniper, bay leaves, rosemary, and black pepper, then lightly smoked and aged in the crisp mountain air for at least 22 weeks.

The result? A perfect balance of smoky depth, delicate salinity, and rich, savory flavor, with a firm yet tender texture that makes it exceptionally versatile. Whether sliced paper-thin for charcuterie boards, layered into panini, or incorporated into cooked dishes, Speck offers a distinctively refined, smoky take on traditional prosciutto.

Tasting Notes:

🔥 Lightly Smoked & Savory – A delicate wood-smoked aroma with a rich, meaty finish
🌿 Herbaceous & Aromatic – Notes of juniper, bay leaf, and black pepper
🥩 Tender Yet Firm – A balance of lean meat and delicate marbling

Perfect Pairings:

🍷 Pair with a crisp Gewürztraminer or a bold Lagrein from Alto Adige
🥖 Enjoy in a sandwich with Alpine cheese, arugula, and fig jam
🍝 Dice and sauté in risotto, pasta, or roasted vegetables for smoky depth

A true reflection of Northern Italy’s artisanal traditions, Speck delivers a refined, smoky alternative to prosciutto, making it an essential ingredient for both traditional and modern Italian cuisine.
