Reserve Sweet Raw Ham 20 Months - Heart/Stim Slice (approx. 4 kg)
Raw Material: Italian heavy thigh from the traditional Emilian circuit, from selected heavy pigs. Artisanal processing with only the addition of sea salt, without preservatives or additives.
Size and Cut: Section of about 4 kg obtained from the central cut of a whole thigh seasoned of more than 9 kg. The section shows a full and compact walnut, protected by a generous trimming of noble fat and natural grouting with sugna and pepper.
Aging: 20 slow and constant months in the cellars of the Parma Apennines, ideal time to give softness to the muscle fibre and develop complex aromas without drying the meat.
Visual Examination: Warm ruby red cut, followed by a fine marble that blends with the thick crown of candid and pinkish white fat, well-kept nutrition index and correct maturation.
Aromatic and Gustative Profile: The nose releases round cellar scents, buttery notes and nuances of dried fruit. On the palate the entrance is markedly sweet, velvety and devoid of aggressive savory notes, with an immediate dissolability given by the well-dosed noble fat.
Service and Pairings: Ideal for thin slices with a knife or machine, accompanied by natural leavening bread or hot focaccia, aged hard cheeses and a glass of soft red wine or classic method.
