Bresaola

Description

Bresaola is a lean salted dried meat from Valtellina, a long alpine valley in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy. It has an IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) mark which limits its production to certified master butchers from the Lombardy region. Compared to many other cured meats, bresaola is very lean, as it is composed of only one muscle and any external fat is eliminated before maturing.
