Rarely does a territory have such a strong link with a product as that binding the Alto Vastese district with its ventricina, a prized, unique product made with prime pork cuts. This quality cured meat is free of chemical additives and is a leading item on the Italian charcuterie panorama. It can be sampled in all production areas, to savour its typical fragrance.
Salt, finely chopped mild or hot pepper, and fennel seed are ingredients that blend in with quality pork, finely chopped by hand using only the knife tip.
