Fresh Organic Bacon

100% pigs born and raised in the wild in the Tolfa mountains: the tastiest cut, without antibiotics or additives.

Layers of meat and wild fat that melt during cooking, for dishes with a deep and enveloping flavor.

Fresh Organic Bacon from Poggio Felicioso

Poggio Felicioso's Organic Fresh Pancetta is the cut that best expresses the quality of free-range farming: alternating layers of pink meat and premium fat, the real deal, built up by animals that roam freely year-round in the Tolfa mountains. The pigs are born and raised 100% on the farm, fed organic, GMO-free feed, and never used antibiotics, in a short, all-Italian, CCPB-certified supply chain. No chemical preservatives or artificial additives: just a fresh, generous cut, ready to transform into crispy-rind roasts, melt-in-the-mouth braises, and pan-fried dishes that exude the aroma of the countryside.
 
 
 

The roots of this Fresh Pancetta are deep in tradition

In Lazio, pork belly has been the heart of the great tradition of roast pork for centuries: from the countryside between Rome and the Tolfa mountains comes the art of slowly cooking pork with herbs and spices until it achieves the golden, crispy crust that has made porchetta Lazio famous worldwide. In humble peasant cuisine, fresh pancetta was the festive cut: inexpensive but rich in flavor, capable of seasoning soups, broths, and garden vegetables, transforming humble dishes into feasts. An ancient skill that we find intact today in this wild cut.
 
 
 

Choosing Fresh Organic Bacon means taking care of yourself

Not all fat is created equal: the fat from free-range pigs, raised on the move and fed organic grains, has a more balanced and flavorful lipid profile, allowing for less fat to be used while still achieving greater flavor. Meat provides complete proteins, B vitamins—particularly B1, of which pork is one of the most abundant sources—as well as iron, zinc, and selenium. The absence of antibiotics, preservatives, and artificial additives guarantees a clean and transparent product, while certified animal welfare translates into a quality that is evident on the palate, slice after slice.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Fresh Organic Bacon

• HERB ROAST WITH CRISPY RIND — Your home-made porchetta: massage the bacon with salt, pepper, Organic dried sage and bay leaves, roll up and cook for a long time in the oven: the rind will become an irresistible crunch.
• THE PIG AND THE APPLES — A marriage as old as peasant cooking: brown the bacon in pieces, blend with the Piedmontese Apple Cider and add slices of Organic Torriana Gray Apple Ancient Variety: the sweet and sour fruit enhances the richness of the wild fat.
• THE WINTER PAN — The comfort food of the mountain tradition: sauté the pancetta strips until golden, add the Organic Savoy Cabbage striped and the Chestnuts from Tuscia boiled: a unique dish that warms body and soul.

The Producer: Poggio Felicioso

From 5 pigs in 2016 to over 300 today, Poggio Felicioso is the story of a family that in the Tolfa mountains chose free-range farming and a closed supply chain: their own grains, artisanal processing, and CCPB organic certification, without compromise.
