Calabrese is named after a region in Southern Italy. This coarsely ground pork salami for sandwiches and antipasto is mildly hot, due to a generous addition of red pepper flakes. Made in Canada to exact Italian specifications, it is pressed into a flat shape during curing. This pressing not only gives Calabrese its characteristic shape, it also gives it a wonderfully firm texture.
The curing process which results in the Fermín Jamón Serrano is completely traditional. The hams are cured in drying rooms with open screened windows, caressed by mountain air as it wafts through the area where the hams are hung.
Our largest salame, modeled after the sopressa vicentina from the Vicenza province of Northern Italy. Very coarsely cut and scented with clove. Moist and full-flavored. About 22 inches long. Slice paper thin pieces
Tanara Prosciutto di Parma D.O.P. at any age is produced under strict Italian law which governs the size of the hog leg to be used and what the hogs eat, among other strict considerations. Once the perfect leg has been selected, it undergoes a sea salting stage that last for a few weeks. The actual curing process occurs in humidity and temperature controlled rooms which replicate the fall, winter and spring seasons. An added bonus is the pure breeze from the Apennine mountains that blows into the curing house windows, thus adding an a unique form of air terroir to the ham. The entire process is time-consuming and tedious, but Tanara’s end product always measures up to the highest standards so that it earns the Parma fire-branded crown stamp with honors. The 24-month version sets itself apart with its bold black label.
Jamón Serrano, elaborated under the ETG guarantee (Traditional Elaboration Process), Serrano ham is cured for at least 15 months, obtaining a top-quality product with the exact amount of salt and a deep mediterranean aroma as well as a juicy and intense flavor.
This Prosciutto di Parma is crudo and produced with Italian pork coming from the best breeding areas of the Po Valley and from pigs that have only eaten natural feed. The thighs weigh at least 13 kg or more. The ham is treated with sea salt for a pleasantly sweet taste; no other ingredient or additive is used. A lard called sugnatura is rubbed on the bottom of the ham where the bone is to protect the ham and to ensure consistent development. Once prepared, each ham is taken to special ventilated room.
