Cured meats from South Tyrol
Thea Wunderer’s Alpine Deli offers a snapshot of the cuisine of South Tyrol, the most northern region of Italy. The cured meats are made by a family that has been in the business for decades – if not longer – using recipes handed down through generations. The region’s defining foodstuff is Speck Alto Adige. A ham with Protected Geographical Indication status, it can only be made in South Tyrol and has a distinctive taste and texture.
