Speck Alto Adige IGP Smoked Proscuitto

Speck is a distinctive smoked prosciutto from Italy’s northern Alpine region of South Tyrol. Crafted from carefully selected pork legs, the meat is seasoned with a traditional mixture of salt, garlic, juniper berries, and spices before undergoing a unique curing process that combines gentle smoking with slow air-drying in the mountain climate.

Unlike traditional Italian prosciutto, speck develops its character through this balance of smoke and aging. After being lightly smoked over natural wood, it is matured for about six months, allowing the flavors to deepen while the texture becomes tender and sliceable. The result is a cured meat with delicate smokiness, savory spice notes, and the sweet, silky richness typical of alpine charcuterie.

Protected by IGP designation, Speck Alto Adige reflects centuries of South Tyrolean curing tradition. Thinly sliced, it is excellent on charcuterie boards, layered into sandwiches, or paired with rustic breads, cheeses, and pickled vegetables.
