The province shapes the whole production chain
The pigs are born and raised in Vicenza province, where slaughter, processing and curing also take place. Selected cuts are ground through a 6–7 mm plate and placed in natural casing. Minimum maturation includes draining and drying: 60, 80, 90 or 120 days according to weight at stuffing. A single age cannot describe every size.
