Maestri speck is a distinctive Italian cured ham from Alto Adige, where mountain air, time-honored techniques, and gentle smoking create one of Italy’s most elegant charcuterie specialties.
Made from carefully selected pork legs, speck is salted, seasoned with natural herbs and spices, lightly cold-smoked, and aged for at least six months. The result is a beautifully balanced prosciutto-style ham with delicate smokiness, refined aroma, and exceptional depth of flavor.
We love speck for many reasons, including:
- Its mild smoke and low-salt profile, making it delicate yet complex
- The unique flavor that adds a true “wow factor” to simple dishes
- Its clean taste when cooked — without the heavy “porky” notes of traditional bacon or pancetta
- Its incredible versatility, both raw and cooked
Enjoy it in sandwiches, wrapped around asparagus or breadsticks, layered on pizza, or diced into pasta sauces, risotto, soups, stews, salads, and omelets.
