Organic Stretched Bacon

100% pigs born and raised in the wild on the Tolfa mountains, naturally seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic - already sliced

Thin slices where lean and wild fat alternate in perfect balance: raw is a pleasure, crunchy a temptation.

Organic Pancetta Tesa from Poggio Felicioso

Poggio Felicioso's Organic Pancetta Tesa is the refined cured version of the most delicious cut of pork: the belly of pigs born and raised 100% free-range in the Tolfa mountains, salted with pepper and garlic and left to dry flat, as tradition dictates, until it achieves the perfect balance between the sweetness of the fat and the savory flavor of the lean meat. Free from chemical preservatives or artificial additives, free from farm-raised antibiotics, and fed organically and GMO-free in a CCPB-certified short supply chain. Available in convenient, ready-made slices: perfect raw in a sandwich, irresistible when crispy in the pan, where the wild-frying fat releases all its flavor.
 
 
 

The roots of this Pancetta Tesa are deep in tradition

For centuries, cured pancetta was the companion of those who worked far from home: the charcoal burners and woodcutters of the Apennines brought it to their huts along with eggs and cheese, because it could withstand weeks of woodland work and provided energy for the hardest work—and it's no coincidence that one of the legends surrounding the birth of carbonara tells of those charcoal burners and their essential pantry. In peasant homes, pancetta hung in the cellar was the universal condiment: a slice to flavor the soffritto, one for the side dish, one—secretly—for the children. A heritage of humble wisdom that the wild pig of Tolfa proudly renews.
 
 
 

Choosing Organic Pancetta Tesa means taking care of yourself

Natural curing with only salt, pepper, and garlic is the most transparent preservation method available: no chemical preservatives, no artificial additives, just time and fresh air. The fat from wild pancetta, built up through daily exercise and a diet of organic grains, has a more balanced and aromatic profile: a little goes a long way. The meat provides protein, B vitamins, iron, and zinc, while the absence of antibiotics throughout the animal's life and CCPB organic certification guarantee a controlled supply chain from pasture to slice.
