Customer photo review of Whole Speck 900g/1kg

A very tasty, high-quality product.

Fantastic product at great price 👍

I found everything in perfect condition, great quality and very well priced, will be ordering again. One question, can I split the large pack of Parma ham up, would the meat keep if I put it into sealed freezer bags, obviously not freeze it, but leave it in the fridge. Going to try the more of your products. Excellent

Origin

Speck is a signature dish from Alto Adige, the northern-most province of Italy, also known as South Tyrol. Renowned for its cured meat traditions, Speck's name originates from the German word "Spec." Historical evidence traces Speck’s roots to the 1200s, though it was first documented in the 18th century. Traditionally, Speck was prepared by farmers during Christmas to preserve meat for the year ahead. Today, families in South Tyrol continue to use traditional recipes to produce Speck with its unmistakable smoky, savoury flavour.
