Pork cracklings, which are also called Greppole in Mantova, originated as a poor, countryside food, thus having a high caloric content that was often served with polenta at the table. Today, however, it has become more of a trendy snack to consume during an aperitif or to enhance focaccias or less flavorful dishes. Pork cracklings: what are they? The cracklings come from the pork meat and specifically from the pig fat. They are produced by separating the rind from the lard and cutting the latter into cubes. Cooking then proceeds over low heat. The water from the tissue is removed and the fats are melted. The remaining solid is then squeezed by hand with a cloth, and the cracklings are salted and flavored. Then they are pressed to drain all the fat. This leads to the production of these crunchy and tasty meat cracklings. Pedrazzoli's Cracklings, complete supply chain. Pedrazzoli is one of the few medium-sized family-run salami producers with a complete supply chain: from cereals and other products for livestock feed to the processing of the final product. Even today it represents one of the most significant names in Italian cured meat production. Pioneers of ORGANIC, they were the first in 1996 to offer an organic line they called Primavera.
