Cutting and shaping:
from a leg of pork, the muscle with the femur, tibia and fibula bones. Rind removed in the anterior medial part of the thigh, with a typical “Marche” very wide cut from the articulation of the cuff to the base. Trimmed and rounded with the classic “pear” shape and the protrusion limited by the bone.
Appearance:
Typical for the product with no holes or gaps, no seepage, compact and well cleaned to ensure little waste and high yield. The slice is homogeneous, compact and does not stick when slicing.
Raw material:
for typical production is the leg of a heavy, Italian, adult pig, except for boars and sows with the birth farm and slaughterhouse label clearly legible on the back. It has white external fat and a cover of limited thickness.
