Pancetta Piacentina PDO: a cut to be discovered

The least appreciated cut of pork, which our history and talent have transformed into a high-quality charcuterie product. The selection of the meat, the dry salting, and the hand-stitching make the traditional pancetta from the Piacenza area a unique cured meat. Only through slow massaging can the aromas and spices penetrate the meat, giving it that sweet, full, and persuasive flavor on the palate. Pancetta Piacentina PDO is known and appreciated for its "melt-in-the-mouth" effect, which is sweet and pleasant. Aging in Val Tidone gives it that particular flavor that makes it unique and unmistakable. We recommend serving it at room temperature, sliced very thinly. The first documents linking the Grossetti family to the production of cured meats date back to 1875, with Pietro Grossetti's shop in Pianello Val Tidone, but memories and oral testimonies go back even further. Until the post-WWII period, cured meat production in Val Tidone was tied to the rhythms of the seasons and nature, to peasant life and the local shop. There were no large-scale factories, only artisanal workshops where the same actions performed for centuries in country homes were repeated every year. The "butcher's ritual" of curing pork is an ancient tradition linked to the sustenance of farming families; over time, the craft was also entrusted to shops where traditions were preserved and skills refined. The Grossetti family, too, generation after generation, has managed its artisanal charcuterie shops in Pianello Val Tidone, becoming a point of reference for those seeking excellent quality cured meats and marking the history of Val Tidone charcuterie with their work.Ingredients: Pork meat, salt, sugars: dextrose.
