Sopressa Nostrana
A PRODUCT OF ANCIENT TRADITIONS
Product obtained from the medium-grain mincing of fresh national pork. The cuts used in the different percentages are: coppa, shoulder, thigh, chopped bench or underbelly, bacon, throat.
The mixture obtained is stuffed into natural gut (beef bondiana) tied first with normal string and then with elasticised string, so as to guarantee a uniform and regular appearance even after curing, which is never less than 75 days.
The product is cylindrical in shape, sometimes more or less crescent-shaped depending on the natural shape of the casing containing it.
The consistency is compact, but not elastic, the latter being a typical and fundamental characteristic, in fact even after the maturing phase it must retain a typical softness.
When cut, the slice is homogeneous, uniform ruby red in colour with well-distributed ivory-coloured fat grains, with a sweet flavour without extraneous notes, and a pleasant, meaty and characteristic aroma.
- The average weight of the product is about 3.5 kg.
- The product can be with or without garlic.
- Contains no milk derivatives.
- Does not contain sources of gluten.
