Smoke and Brine: a winning combination

The Cream of Smoked Lard of Salumificio Triglia is a veritable alchemy of flavors. It is produced by grinding blocks of smoked lard to which a particular mixture of spices typical of these areas is added. A long and harmonious process that starts from the smoking of the lard pieces that have come to the end of their traditional processing, before maturing.
The smoking, which goes from 12 to 24 hours, takes place in special cold working machines – temperatures never exceed 30 ° C and never fall below 12 ° – and which slowly subject the meat to warm steam and fumes intoxicants of natural beech wood, laurel and juniper berries. This process inflates the fibers of the blocks, giving the lard additional levels of flavor and that unmistakable taste, immediately recognizable.
Only after smoking, the lard blocks so “flavored” are subjected to the long maturation phase in special cold rooms, for a period of no less than ten months.
It will be only at the end of this time that the leaner ones will be chosen. The rind will be removed from them and the delicate grinding phase will be carried out – which will be very fine to obtain a “cream” ready to be spread – and a further spice composed of garlic, pepper, rosemary, chilli pepper, nutmeg, nails of carnation and cinnamon.
