Cut rather than finely ground

The specification calls for knife-cut meat and fat, while allowing a dicing machine with a 12 mm square-hole plate. The mixture uses sea salt, coarsely broken black pepper and potassium nitrate. The casing must be pork intestine; the specification prohibits the addition of lard. Production and curing both take place within Sant’Angelo di Brolo.
