Lard from Colonnata IGP gr.450 ca.

In the small village of Colonnata, on the mountains near Carrara city, has born this exclusive product with long tradition and old experience. In the past it was considered the poor food to be eaten with bread by people who were working into the mines, who cut it into very thin slices to stuff the sandwich adding some tomato too. This lard is obtained from the pork back, and it is put into marble basins called "conche" (pots) and flavoured with kitchen marine salt, grinded black pepper, peeled fresh garlic, rosemary and sage and closed with a marble slab where it will remain for 6 months maturing. At the end it's ready with a white colour almost pinkish, sometimes with an intense pink stripe which give a much more flavoured taste. Its' perfect cut into thin slices on hot, roasted homemade bread.
