Italy

Murray’s Sliced Speck is made from pork shoulder and aged for about nine months in the Alto Adige province of northeastern Italy, where the cool mountain air of the Alps meets the balmy Mediterranean breeze. The rich, velvety meat is cloaked in an herbed crust made of juniper, pepper and other spices, and smoked before curing. The complex, botanical flavors demand an equally bold pairing, like Taleggio and Divina Fig Spread.

“Murray’s Sliced Speck has a smoky bite that's snackable and packed with character. It won't stay on your next cheese board for long. Pair this Alto Adige favorite with an Italian cheese from the same region, like Weinkase Lagrein and you'll see that what grows together, goes together.”

Pork, Salt, Sugar, Spices, Natural Flavors

Produced in the Alto Adige province in northeast Italy, Murray’s Speck is made from the front leg of a pig (also known as the shoulder), cold smoked, and aged for nine months.
The whole-muscle cut is repeatedly smoked over beechwood fires and rubbed with sea salt until it reaches the desired taste and texture.
The ham is coated with a mix of juniper, pepper and other spices to create a crust that distinguishes Speck from other whole-muscle meats.
Murray’s Speck ages for 22 to 24 weeks in Alto Adige, where the cold air of the Alps meets the humid Mediterranean breeze.
Salumi production dates back centuries, when meat was smoked and dried out of necessity.
The dry-curing technique used for salami requires humidity- and temperature-controlled drying.
The humidity and temperatures used to cure the meat determine its texture and moisture levels, ranging from dry and fine to chewy and fatty.
