Tuscany
Toscana in tavola
Tuscany is located in central Italy. The strong, yet simple flavors of Tuscan cuisine are a product of outstanding local ingredients.
Lardo di Colonnata IGP
The meat should not be refrigerated before curing. Salt, black pepper, rosemary, and garlic are placed in between the layers of lard. Some producers also add sage, star anise, oregano, coriander, or even cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg.
