SALUMI
Il Parmacotto (eel PAHR-mah-KOH-to)
Our signature prosciutto cotto, or cooked ham. Delicately flavored and pleasantly pink. After several days of brining, our boneless ham is cooked in steam ovens until juicy and tender.
Prosciutto Arrosto (proh-SHOO-toh ar-ROH-sto)
Imported directly from Parma. Fresh, boneless ham, steamed slowly then roasted for a grand total of 14 hours. Mild in flavor and tender in texture, with a golden exterior.
Porchetta Toscana (pohr-KEHT-tah toh-SKAHN-nah)
In Italy, porchetta generally refers to a whole spit-roasted, stuffed pig. Our Porchetta Toscana, however, is made using tender pork loin, seasoned with garlic and Tuscan herbs, bound in pork belly, and then roasted in the oven.
Arista (AH-ree-stah)
Slow-roasted pork loin, seasoned with salt, pepper and various spices. This superior cut of pork certainly lives up to its name – arista, from the Greek aristos, meaning “the best”.
Brought to you from the hills of San Gimignano, this flavorful ham is made according to Tuscan tradition – hand-rubbed with rosemary, black pepper and garlic, then grilled.
Parmella Mortadella di Bologna (pahr-MEHL-lah mohr-tah-DEHL-lah dee boh-LOH
Finely ground, cooked pork sausage, considered a staple in Bologna. Rose-colored and dotted with cubes of pork fat. Light, yet full of flavor. Comes with or without pistachios.
Prosciutto Cotto Naturale (proh-SHOO-toh KOHT-toh nah-too-RAH-leh)
Carefully selected ham, made the old-fashion way, with no added water or preservatives. Cooked in steam ovens to maintain its natural flavor and texture.
“Il Nostro” Prosciutto di Parma (eel NOH-stroh pro-SHOO-toh dee PAHR-ma
The Ferrari of Italian pork products. This shiny red, hind thigh of hog, rimmed with pure white fat, is simply irresistible. Salt cured and air-dried, anywhere between 18 and 36 months.
Prosciutto Crudo San Daniele (pro-SHOO-toh KROO-doh sahn sahn dahn-EE'EH-le
Salt-cured, aged ham from San Daniele del Friuli, located in northeastern Italy. Generally darker and sweeter than its rival from down south in Parma.
Guanciale (goo'ahn-CHEE'AH-leh)
Cured pork jowl. This cheeky salume, a kitchen staple in Lazio and Abruzzo, has a rich, slightly spicy, porky flavor. Considered the key to successful pasta alla carbonara or all’amatriciana.
Pancetta (pahn-CHEHT-tah)
Pork belly, cured but not smoked. It’s bacon, only better. Served thinly sliced, or used in cooking, where its distinct flavor and tender texture are beyond compare.
Lardo (LAHR-doh)
Cured pork fat, plain and simple. Like pancetta, lardo can be sliced thin and served with toasty bread, or pounded together with parsley and onion to form a battuto, the foundation of many classic Italian soups and pasta sauces.
Speck di Tirolo (spehk dee TEE-roh-loh)
Dry-cured, smoked ham from Tirolo in Alto-Adige, a mountainous region in northeastern Italy. Its garnet color and smoky flavor are instantly recognizable. Serve cut into thick slices with dark, hearty bread.
Bresaola (breh-SAH-oh-lah)
Air-dried, salted beef, traditionally from Valtellina, an Alpine valley in Lombardy. Bresaola is deep ruby-red, with a gratifyingly gamy flavor. Often found sliced paper thin, topped with a little olive oil, lemon juice and freshly ground black pepper.
A zippy, Tuscan-style salame, seasoned heavily with fennel, or finocchio. Full of flavor and spice, finocchiona is often paired with more mild foods, like the saltless bread of Tuscany.
A pocket-sized salame, originally considered the ideal snack for on-the-go Piemontese hunters, or cacciatori. Now popular throughout Italy, recipes vary from region to region. Be aware, piccante indicates that its spicy.
Salame Milanese (sah-LAH-meh mee-lah-NEH-seh)
A speckled, mixed-meat salame, originally from Codogno, located outside Milan. Made with lean pork meat, beef and pork fat, ground separately, and very finely. Seasoned with salt, pepper, white wine and spices.
Coppa (KOHP-pah)
Salted pork collar, placed in a casing and aged for about 4 to 6 months to develop its characteristically tangy flavor. Not to be confused with coppa di testa, one of many Italian names for headcheese.
Sopressata (soh-prehs-SAH-tah)
A large, coarsely ground, dry-cured sausage, popular in Southern Italy. Made with lean pork meat, pork fat, and spices of infinite combination, this speckled salame is often pressed before aging.
Cotechino di Modena (koh-teh-KEE-noh dee MOH-deh-nah)
Cooked pork sausage from Modena. Traditionally served on New Year’s Eve, crowning a bed of lentils. Sweet, spicy and irresistibly juicy. Best eaten warm and in thick slices.
