SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Because of its mild taste, the ROASTED TUSCAN HAM is ideal served with fresh season vegetables and warm bread.

INGREDIENTS

Pork leg, salt, sugar, spices, natural flavourings, preservatives and antioxidants.

It has to be stored in the refrigerator between +0 C and +4 C.

RAW MATERIALS

Selected pork leg only fresh, not frozen that weights between 9 and 10kg.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

The brine is injected in the leg before 'Marinatura', so that it brings the natural flavours to the meat. It is then macerated in the brine for approximately 48 hours.

The leg is spiced with rosemary, pepper.  Then, the product is cooked for 12 to 14 hours in suitable metal grids that convey the typical appearance of roasted meat.  The cooking process is very slow and carefully monitored.  The cooking is made exclusively using hot air and no steam.
