The prosciutto from the Grigio del Casentino pig is aged for at least 24 months in a natural cellar. It has an incredible aroma and the fat melts like butter. It's absolutely top quality, without any preservatives or additives.
Mortadella
The mortadella was cooked 4 days ago and has an incredible fragrance. It's delicious.
Guanciale di Grigio
The guanciale from the Grigio pig is incredibly fatty, like butter. Even someone who never liked fat would be converted. It's amazing.

The finocchiona is made with wild fennel flower, not seed, which sweetens it. It's crumbly and incredibly good. You can't not like it.
