Cut of meat: pork, rind and pork fat.

Processing: the meats are selected and trimmed with extreme care; a mixture of aromas and salt is added according to the traditional recipe of San Bono. The meats are then minced with a double plate, 8 mm and 6 mm respectively.The casing is prepared by washing it in vinegar solutions and rinsing with water. We then move on to encasing, tying up and affixing the identification seal, before proceeding with the dripping and drying phases. Finally, the product is stored in a refrigerating room.
