A limited edition speciality
Bauernspeck - a traditional delight
South Tyrolean Bauernspeck is a speciality that is only produced in limited quantities.
Some of the speck produced in South Tyrol is labelled "Bauernspeck". It is made from select cuts of pork from animals kept in small groups. Unlike Speck Alto Adige PGI, the entire pig is used for Bauernspeck, not just the leg. The head, shoulder, loin and belly are also used. Processing the main parts of the pig follows the traditional method used on farms for making speck. Only the leg may bear the PGI quality seal.
Bauernspeck is characterised by its slightly higher fat content, fine grain and crumbly consistency. Speck may only be labelled "Bauernspeck" if all the specified quality criteria are met and it is available in limited quantities.
