Soppressata Irpina

The Irpinian Soppressata is the result of ancient and skillful craftsmanship. Each piece is handmade using only the finest cuts of pork: two parts lean meat, such as ham and tenderloin, and one part premium fat. The meat is carefully cured, seasoned with salt and natural spices, and then stuffed into casings. The secret to its unique flavor lies in the smoking process, performed with forest oak wood, which imparts the soppressata's distinctive smoky aroma. Additionally, the aging process, which lasts about a month in well-ventilated rooms, enhances its exceptional taste.

Capicollo

Capocollo has always been considered one of the finest cuts of meat, made entirely from the pig's neck, located between the head and the loin, from which the cured meat gets its name. Traditionally, the butchering of pigs was a family affair, with the head of the family overseeing the process, turning it into a true shared ritual. From this tradition comes the saying, "nothing of the pig is wasted." The preparation of Capocollo begins with salting the meat, followed by vigorous massages to ensure an even distribution of the salt. After washing and drying, the meat is soaked in wine vinegar, seasoned with whole peppercorns and various aromatic herbs, and finally wrapped in the pig's parietal diaphragm. The aging process takes place in sanitized and well-ventilated environments for about 15 weeks. Once aged, it is vacuum-sealed for preservation, ensuring the finest quality and flavor.
  • Sapore Delicato, non salato, stagionato
  • Odore Tipico stagionato leggermente speziato
  • Colore Magro di colore rosso con striature bianco-rosato
  • Struttura Fetta compatta al taglio

This simple seasoning enhances the flavor of the meat, making it distinctively Irpinian. In our online store, you can choose between traditional dry sausage or the variant with caciocavallo cheese. Often enjoyed raw, it is appreciated for its robust flavor. Perfect for appetizers, it pairs wonderfully with delicate cheeses and other cured meats, or it can be used to make delicious sandwiches, where the strong notes of the sausage pleasantly contrast with the bread.
