Black Pig ham

Ham is one of the most popular Italian cured meats in the world, but Monica di Valle del Rosa makes it even more delicious by using the meat of black pigs. This typical Piedmontese breed, also known as Nero di Cavour, has been saved from extinction thanks to the work of Monica, who works daily to recover and enhance the ancient traditions of the Anzasca Valley. The meat obtained from this breed of pig has a more intense flavour than the traditional one, but never invasive to the palate. It retains the delicacy of taste.

Every taste of Prosciutto Cotto Nero del Rosa will never have the same nuance of flavour. In fact, the animals are free to graze in the wild and feed on what nature has to offer. The leg of pork is salted and cooked gently until it reaches the heart of the form, to achieve a result of the highest quality. The flavour is succulent, rich in taste and with a greater consistency than traditional cooked hams. It is ideal to cut this salami with a knife in order to savour the flavour even more intensely.

As Al Bano Carrisi and Romina Power sang, happiness is a glass of wine with a sandwich. For your moment of pleasure, prepare a sandwich with Prosciutto Cotto Nero del Rosa, dried tomatoes from Scovaventi and a slice of Dolce Macomer from Lacesa. Crown this moment with a glass of Langhe DOC Pinot Noir from the Musso winery, a dry and savoury wine that contrasts well with the sweet flavour of the Prosciutto Cotto.
