Sopressata di Norcineria Bianculli: a journey into the authentic flavors of Cilento

Sopressata di Norcineria Bianculli is a typical salami from Cilento that encapsulates the tradition and authentic flavors of this land. Its preparation follows ancient Norcini recipes, passed down from generation to generation, using simple and genuine ingredients:

• Pork meat: strictly selected from farms in Vallo di Diano, controlled and certified.
• Sea salt: sourced from the salt flats of Trapani, a pure salt with an intense flavor.
• Wild fennel seeds: harvested in the Cilento, Vallo di Diano, and Alburni National Park, they impart an unmistakable aroma.
• Peperone crusco: a sweet pepper typical of Basilicata that lends a slightly spicy and smoky flavor.

The processing of Sopressata Bianculli is a long and meticulous process:

1. Manual selection of meat cuts: only the finest parts of the pig are used for the Sopressata.
2. Coarse grinding: the meat is ground, and the fat is manually cut coarsely to maintain the traditional characteristic of the soppressata.
3. Seasoning: the meat is seasoned with salt, whole peppercorns, and wild fennel. No additives, preservatives, or colorings are used.
4. Kneading: the meat is kneaded by hand until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
5. Stuffing: the mixture is stuffed into natural pig casings, which gives each piece a unique shape.
6. Pressing: the Sopressata is pressed for 24 hours to facilitate the compaction of the meat using mechanical presses or weights of appropriate measures to encourage compactness and achieve the characteristic flattened shape.
7. Drying and aging: the Sopressata rests for about 60 days in controlled environments, where aging takes place, determining its flavor and texture.

The result is a unique and unrepeatable Sopressata:

• With an intense and aromatic flavor: the perfect balance between the savoriness of the meat, the aroma of fennel, and the taste of peperone crusco.
• With a soft and compact texture: a true delight for the palate.
• With an irregular shape: a distinctive sign of its craftsmanship.

The Sopressata di Norcineria Bianculli is a perfect product for:

• Appetizers: paired with fresh bread and seasonal vegetables.
• Main courses: sliced and served with cheese and honey.
• Snacks: a bite of energy and flavor.

The Sopressata Bianculli is a product of excellence that represents the Norcini tradition of Cilento. A salami to taste and to experience, to savor the true flavors of this land.
