A hearty snack that provides energy

Speck Alto Adige as a snack

Savoury, spicy and versatile: Speck Alto Adige is ideal as a snack and can be enjoyed with bread, fruit or dairy products.

Having a snack in the morning or afternoon helps replenish energy reserves and absorb important nutrients. Instead of sweet snacks, Speck Alto Adige provides a tasty, savoury alternative that is also balanced. Combined with wholemeal bread, fruit or dairy products such as cheese, it makes a filling snack that provides valuable nutrients. Compared to sweet snacks, savoury options often contain less sugar. 

Combinations with fruit are interesting: for example, bananas provide potassium, which balances out the sodium content; citrus fruits promote iron absorption; and avocados contribute valuable folates.
