The Mantuan Salami Festival: A Centuries-Old Norcia Tradition
Share
October in Mantua means Salami Festival, a celebration of a pork butcher's art that dates back to the Middle Ages. Mantua salami, with its characteristic coarse grain and the addition of garlic, represents the essence of a tradition handed down over the centuries in rural courts. In the "Norcineria Mantovana" box set you can taste different types of this iconic cured meat, from the classic to the variegated with Lambrusco, accompanied by typical Mantua bread. A tribute to the pork butchers who, generation after generation, have perfected recipes that today represent the gastronomic soul of the Virgilian territory.
