All about bresaola > Secrets of making

Bresaola “Cuore” is a cured beef product made from “Punta d’anca” (top side without the adductor muscle (1)). The Bresaola made from this cut is a compact shape and great quality because it comes from the “noble” muscles of the thigh.

It is dry salted for a period of time that varies for each piece, then the pieces are stuffed into casings, dried and aged in optimal temperature and humidity conditions, in order to obtain the product’s typical organoleptic characteristics in compliance with regulations for Bresaola della Valtellina Protected Geographical Indication (IGP).

The traditional, long ageing period, in Valtellina’s typical weather conditions, and the scrupulous tests carried out during all preparation stages contribute to making it a unique and special product with extraordinary organoleptic characteristics to satisfy even of the most demanding palates.
