Treviso and Padua, two sopressa examples
The Veneto atlas describes the Treviso example as medium-ground lean pork and belly fat seasoned with salt, pepper and a little cumin, then filled into beef casing, pierced, dried and aged. The Padua example also uses beef casing and hand tying, followed by drying and maturation with controlled temperature, humidity and ventilation. Garlic-flavored wine or garlic juice is optional in the Padua account.
