Rolled Pancetta of Nebrodi Black Pig

This pancetta arrotolata or rolled pancetta is a typical Sicilian salume made only with Nebrodi black pig meat, crafted by hand for 15 days through daily massaging and seasoned with salt and black pepper.

The fat present in this cured meat comes from the belly of the animal and releases all the aroma of the nebroid forest if heated in a pan or left to rest at room temperature.

This flavourful pancetta is best cut in thin slices and eaten raw as part of antipasti or simply as a component of a sandwich.

The "Nero dei Nebrodi" pig, also known as black piglet or Black Sicilian pig is a native Sicilian breed that stands out for the black colour of its fur. Excellent artisan cured meats are derived from its meat; appreciated both for its flavour if eaten au naturel and as an ingredient in various recipes. Its meat is renowned for its intense flavor, making it a true delicacy.

These pigs are raised free-range and semi-free-range in the woods of Sicily, feeding naturally on acorns and chestnuts. This lifestyle ensures high-quality meat, rich in flavor and nutrients.

Salumi Caputo is located at Sant’Angelo di Brolo, an ancient village in the province of Messina located in a lush valley abundant with olive, orange and hazelnut trees, 400 metres above sea level in the Nebrodi Natural Park.

Here, the morphological and climatic conditions of the territory, characterised by a steady temperature and humidity all year round, ensure ideal conditions for the production and ageing of salumi, and other meat products.
