PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING
Culatta with rind, a typical food from the heritage of Norcia, is now proposed by Parma Noble Food as in the past. This salami is obtained from the most valuable portion of the leg of pork, without knuckle. Cut as appropriate, to give it a round shape which seems to remind that of a “mandolin”, it is aged with its rind similar ham, in a tan of natural spices. The result is surprising, a unique product with an exceptional taste; weighing nearly 6 kg, aged 12 months, Culatta is ready to be cut.
PRODUCT PROFILE
Quality is shown by a number of key characteristics: the weight of the aged meat, that should be around 6 kg as tradition requires; the thickness of covering fat of 2 cm at least; small fat layers inside, and the fragrance and digestibility typical of this speciality, which assure its mildness and tenderness.

ONCE UNPACKED
