Porchetta umbra

The Umbrian porchetta is a totally natural product without colourings, preservatives and polyphosphates, made by the company that we have selected in full respect of the ancient tradition only with salt, pepper and natural flavourings. Queen of fairs, inevitable in village festivals, the favorite delicacy of festive families and lunches in the farmyard consumed in company, it has now fully entered the habits of all those who love the decisive and sincere flavors of tradition.

To make it, the craftsman chooses pigs of about one year, weighing up to a quintal which are carefully washed and deboned, and he fills them with seasoning: cooking salt, pepper, heads of garlic with all their shirts on, liver and spleen cut into chunks and handfuls of rosemary or wild fennel. Once stuffed with flavours, the porchetta is tied up tightly with string and placed in the oven. Cooking lasts from two to five hours, depending on the size of the animal, and should be checked from time to time to check for progressive browning. Tradition has it that the porchetta is roasted in a wood oven, but this cooking method does not ensure compliance with the strict hygiene standards, which require perfect washing of the oven after use. Furthermore, it does not guarantee uniform cooking at a constant temperature and tends to dry out the leanest parts of the pork. For these reasons, porchetta is now roasted in stainless steel ovens.

Our porchetta is suitable for simple sandwiches or sandwiches stuffed with mayonnaise, mushrooms, aubergines and cheese. As a cold appetizer with oil, salad, cherry tomatoes. As a tasty and quick second course with various side dishes. Porchetta must be consumed within two days of opening the package. Lukewarm expresses its flavor and aroma of spices to the fullest. The tastiest parts are the fatty ones. If not eaten immediately, sliced porchetta can be kept for a few hours in a cool place. To maintain its fragrance, you must avoid placing it in the refrigerator, or in any case serving it as soon as it is taken out of the refrigerator. It is also good sautéed in a pan with a drop of extra virgin olive oil, a couple of cherry tomatoes, a clove of garlic and all its sauce.
