Speck DOK 4kg is a traditionally smoked and dry-cured ham crafted by DOK, a brand known for its commitment to authentic Italian charcuterie. Made from high-quality pork legs, this 4kg whole piece is carefully seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices before undergoing a slow smoking process. The result is a delicately flavored ham with a distinctive balance of smokiness, saltiness, and subtle sweetness, characteristic of South Tyrolean Speck.

Detailed Information

Speck is a specialty of Alto Adige, Italy, where the unique curing process combines air drying and light smoking to create its signature flavor profile. Unlike fully smoked hams, Speck is cold-smoked at low temperatures, allowing the meat to develop a complex aroma without overpowering smokiness. The seasoning mix, which often includes black pepper, juniper, bay leaves, and rosemary, enhances its rich, savory taste.
The slow aging process ensures a firm yet tender texture, making it ideal for slicing thinly or dicing for culinary applications.
