RAW BEEF SALAMI WITH BAROLO DI SERRALUNGA DOCG
HIGH QUALITY DHO COOKED HAM WITH MOUNTAIN HAY
COMPANY. We are in Genola, in the Cuneo area: here the ancient Piedmontese cattle breed is the absolute protagonist. A lean but tasty and tasty meat, characterized by a low level of cholesterol. La Granda's motto is "we grow meat", to highlight the company's great care in enhancing the context in which the livestock grow, what they eat and how well they live, in contact with nature. And it is also a direct assumption of responsibility in the protection and conservation of this magnificent territory. The production of cured meats derives, however, from the entrepreneurial marriage with the pork butcher Beppe Dho, an authentic institution in the sector.
PRODUCTS. Raw beef salami in Barolo is a very particular product, tasty and well made at the same time: a small, dark slice, it releases funky notes alongside the more canonical wine, clean meat, garlic and pepper. A dissonant note in an iazz score, which only makes everything else curious and unconventional. The bite is a little tough, but still chewable: on the other hand, just like iazz, this salami is not for everyone. Boiled meat and spices appear in the aromatic baggage of hay-cooked ham, so we could have expected a little more in terms of expressiveness. However, it is a fairly good cured meat, characterized by slight umami hints, savory enough, with a slightly over the top acidity. Chewable, but not soft.
