Sliced ​​Organic Caserta Black Pork Lard Ara del Tufo estate

This Organic Caserta Black Pig Lard is more than just a cured meat, but a gastronomic experience that redefines the concept of "fat." Made exclusively from Caserta black pigs raised free-range in the woods of Giuliano di Roma, in Lazio, this lard boasts pale, sometimes pink-tinged meat that literally melts in your mouth.

Its uniqueness lies in its farming method: the animals roam freely, feeding on acorns, chestnuts, and wild berries. This natural diet gives the lard a unique aromatic bouquet, sweet and delicate, never cloying. Its texture is buttery and velvety, perfect for enjoying plain on a slice of warm bread. Vacuum-packed to preserve its freshness, it arrives pre-sliced ​​for instant convenience and maximum enjoyment.

Choosing this product means supporting an ethical and respectful supply chain: Tenuta Ara del Tufo strictly follows ANAS dictates for animal welfare, guaranteeing ample space and a dignified life for its pigs, very similar to that of wild boars.

The roots of this Sliced ​​Organic Casertano Black Pork Lard are deep in tradition

The Caserta Black Pig, or "Suino Nero," is an ancient native breed, already known and prized by the Romans for the quality of its meat. Recognizable by its dark, slate-colored skin and lack of hair (hence the nickname "pelatella"), it risked extinction in favor of more productive but less valuable breeds.

Today, thanks to the work of biodiversity custodians like Tenuta Ara del Tufo, this breed is experiencing a resurgence. Free-range breeding reproduces ancestral living conditions, allowing the animal to develop the superior organoleptic characteristics that have made it legendary over the centuries.

Choosing Sliced ​​Organic Caserta Black Pork Lard means taking care of yourself.

It may seem paradoxical to talk about well-being when referring to lard, but not all fats are created equal. The fat of the Caserta Black Pig, thanks to its diet of acorns and chestnuts and the animals' constant movement, has an extraordinary lipid composition.

It's extremely rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, the so-called "good fats," even higher than saturated fats. This nutritional profile makes it more similar to extra virgin olive oil than industrial lard, helping maintain a healthy cholesterol level when consumed in the right quantities. A pleasure for the palate that also offers a touch of rustic health.

How to Best Use: Sliced ​​Organic Caserta Black Pork Lard

• GOURMET WINTER BRUSCHETTA:

It's the perfect combination. Toast a slice of Loaf of Bread with Mother Yeast 500g and place a slice of bacon on top while it's still hot. The heat will melt the fat, making it translucent. Finish with a drizzle of Organic Chestnut Honey 500g to recall the pig's diet and create an unforgettable sweet-salty contrast.

• IMPERIAL SOUPS AND CREAM SOUPS:

Enrich your legume soups. Prepare a cream with SlowFood® Organic Trasimeno Green Bean 250g and serve with a slice of raw lard in the center of the hot dish. The sweetness of the lard will balance the earthy flavor of the legumes, enhancing the overall flavor.

• NOBLE RUSTIC APERITIF:

Serve the lard on a cutting board together with some Organic Apulian Taralli with Almond Flour. Accompany everything with a glass of Organic Primitivo Red Wine 750ml, whose structure and softness are ideal for “degreasing” the palate and preparing it for the next bite.
