::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: SPECK DI ASIAGO :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

You can tell Asiago Speck from the trademark, from the traditional production methods, the long maturation and the mild salting.

Asiago Speck production the mainstay of the life and work of all those involved in this activity during the last 40 years. The secrets of the seasoning mix, never to be, revealed; are jealously kept by Salumificio di Asiago: that's what gives the ham its original character and unique taste.
Asiago's Speck a mildly smoked raw ham, matured for long time. On one hand it has a lighter;
more delicate and balanced taste than the strong smoked raw hams of Northern Europe, quite
unsophisticated and not matured for very long; while on the other hand presenting a more distinctive and decisive taste than the unsmoked raw hams of Mediterranean traditions. In line with its geographical origin, it comes from a successfull symbiosis of Nordic and Mediterranean taste, with a final balanced result. The inimitable flavour is due to the traditional processing technique.
The production protocol strictly forbids any industrial technique like syringing, shaping, etc., it requires a long maturation, a light smoking at a temperature below 20°C; and a salt content no higher than 5%. All this sets Asiago Speck apart from any other ham. Asiago Speck comes from tradition but also quite modem, peifedly in line with today's dietary requirelnents: it is very nutritious, relatively low in calories and with a high protein content. As for the quality and quantity of its proteins, rich in essential aminoacids, it can well replace meat, eggs and cheese.
And not only that: you just have to take away the fat to have a dish in line with even the most demanding diet.
