Mora Romagnola Salami
Salame di Mora Romagnola is an artisanal excellence produced with the prized meats of this ancient native pig breed of Romagna. The dough is worked by hand, with the addition of salt, pepper and natural flavours, without preservatives. After a slow maturation, the salami acquires an intense, rustic and harmonious flavour, with a perfect balance between lean and fat. Ideal to enjoy as an appetizer with homemade bread and local cheeses, it expresses all the authenticity and flavour of the Romagna tradition.
The production area of Salame di Mora Romagnola is mainly located in Romagna, in the provinces of Ravenna, Forlì-Cesena and Rimini, where the Mora Romagnola breed has been recovered and enhanced in recent decades. The farms of this native breed are generally located in hilly or flat areas, where the pigs are raised in a semi-wild or wild state, feeding naturally on acorns, roots and local cereals.
The artisanal processing of the ham takes place in local cured meat factories that respect the ancient salting and seasoning techniques, guaranteeing a product of the highest quality linked to the territory.
Salame di Mora Romagnola is the result of an artisanal process that respects the local traditions of Romagna. The meat used comes exclusively from Mora Romagnola pigs, raised in the wild or semi-wild and fed naturally.
The process begins with the selection of the best parts of the pig, mainly shoulder, belly and lean trimmings. The meat is coarsely ground to maintain a rustic consistency and mixed with sea salt, peppercorns and natural flavors, without the addition of preservatives or chemical additives.
The mixture is then stuffed into natural casing and tied by hand. It is then slowly matured in cool, ventilated environments, which can last from 2 to 4 months, during which the salami develops its characteristic aromas and a full, harmonious flavor. During the maturation process, the salami is checked periodically to ensure proper maturation.
The result is an authentic product, with a strong and unique flavour, which represents the peasant tradition and the territory of Romagna.
Salame di Mora Romagnola has ancient origins, linked to the peasant tradition of Romagna. The Mora Romagnola is a native pig breed, raised since the Middle Ages in the Romagna countryside. Until the early twentieth century, it was very widespread in the provinces of Ravenna, Forlì-Cesena and Rimini, appreciated for its resistance, the quality of its meat and tasty fat.
In the 1950s, with the introduction of more productive pig breeds, the Mora Romagnola risked extinction. In the 1990s, thanks to the commitment of local breeders and institutions such as the Emilia-Romagna Region, a project to recover the breed began. Today, the Mora Romagnola has become a symbol of biodiversity and sustainability, representing a unique gastronomic heritage.
