Fresh Pork Belly is one of the most versatile and flavourful cuts in Italian cuisine. Taken from the pork belly, it offers the perfect balance of lean meat and delicate layers of fat, giving it a tender texture and a rich, full-bodied flavour.

Since Roman times, pork belly has been highly valued for its versatility and its suitability for a wide range of culinary preparations. Traditionally, it was salted, seasoned and cured to preserve it for long periods, becoming a staple of rural Italian cuisine. Today, fresh pork belly is appreciated for its exceptional versatility and outstanding cooking performance.

Fresh Pork Belly is ideal for a variety of preparations:

• Roasted or grilled, developing a crisp exterior while remaining juicy and tender inside.
• Slow-cooked or braised, releasing its full flavour and becoming wonderfully melt-in-the-mouth.
• Used as a base for sauces, stews and soffritti, adding richness and depth to countless traditional recipes.
