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.
