Ham Flake - 0.8 kg Slice

Fiocchetto is a traditional Emilian cured meat, elegant and delicate, considered a small gem of Italian pork butchering. Smaller than Culatello, it stands out for its natural sweetness, delicate aroma, and soft, firm texture.

It's a refined product, designed for those who appreciate lean, balanced, and not overly salty cured meats. Its maturation period of approximately seven months allows Fiocchetto to develop a harmonious, fragrant, and pleasantly persistent flavor, maintaining a remarkable elegance on the palate.

Fiocchetto comes from a premium, lean cut of the pork leg, carefully selected to produce a refined, high-quality cured meat. The meat is processed according to tradition, salted by hand, and protected with a natural coating, which allows for proper maturation during the curing process.

After an initial drying phase, the product is transferred to cool, humid, and ventilated environments, where it slowly rests for approximately seven months. It is during this phase that Fiocchetto develops its distinctive aroma, natural sweetness, and the soft texture that makes it so prized.
