Cut from pork leg, this specialty is salmon-pink in color, with a very delicate marbling and no trace of fat. Aromatically it's delicate, releasing sensations of cured meat and faint, smoky whiffs accompanied by slight nuances of spices (garlic and juniper) and nuts. In the mouth it's savory and corpulent, with a persistent sweetness. Soft in texture, it easily melts in your mouth.
