Rustico Speck Dry-Cured Smoked Prosciutto, 2.75 lbs

Speck is essentially Prosciutto’s rugged, outdoorsy cousin from the Italian Alps. While standard Prosciutto is only salt-cured, Rustico Speck is rubbed with a blend of Mediterranean herbs (like rosemary and bay leaf) and then gently cold-smoked over beechwood. The result is a ham that is incredibly deep, savory, and woodsy. It is the best "charcuterie-nerd" meat—offering a complexity that standard hams just can't reach. It is the essential winter ham, perfect for serving in a cozy setting with a glass of bold red wine. The Recipes Recipe #1: Alpine Speck & Potato Pizza Top a white pizza with thinly sliced potatoes, rosemary, and ribbons of Rustico Speck. The smoke from the meat seasons the potatoes perfectly. A hearty, gourmet dinner for friends. Recipe #2: Speck-Wrapped Green Beans Bundle fresh green beans and wrap them in a slice of Speck before roasting. The ham crisps up and bastes the beans in smoky fat. A sophisticated holiday side dish for the family. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: Speck & Apple "Lollipops" Wrap a thin ribbon of Speck around a slice of tart Granny Smith apple. The smoky-tart combination is a refreshing and elegant party bite. Appetizer #2: The "Mountain" Crostini Spread a little horseradish cream on a toast and top with a ruffle of Speck. A bold, savory appetizer that reflects its alpine heritage. Ingredients: Pork, salt, spices, dextrose, sodium ascorbate, sodium nitrite. Size: 2.75 Lbs Origin: Italy
