Capocollo of Black Pig from Nebrodi-450/500 g
The Capocollo of Black Pig from Nebrodi is made 100% from the meat of the Black Pig breed from Nebrodi or Sicilian Black, native to the Nebrodi Mountains in Sicily. The Black Pig from Nebrodi has been raised in Sicily since ancient times, with fossil remains indicating the presence of these pigs in Sicily as far back as the Greek domination. At that time, these animals were raised in herds that lived in the wild. Over time and with the changing environmental conditions of Sicily, the Black Pig from Nebrodi changed its physical conformation, becoming taller, more humped, and with a more elongated head. During its evolution, the Black Pig from Nebrodi also changed its eating habits, as Sicily, especially its hills, was rich in forests whose plants and fruits the Sicilian Black Pig fed on. Today, however, the Black Pig from Nebrodi feeds on tubers, fruits, and acorns, making its meat particularly interesting from a charcuterie perspective. The Capocollo of Black Pig from Nebrodi, also known as "cozzu" as it is derived from the neck of the black pig, is characterized by savory and naturally fragrant meat, prepared by skilled masters using natural aromas. This pig breed is a Slow Food Presidium. Pairings: It is very well suited for appetizers, gourmet aperitifs. Excellent pairing with Nero d'Avola and Frappato. Aging: 23
