Ventricina del Vastese is a premium cured salami originating from the Abruzzo region, renowned for its unique flavor and traditional preparation methods. This specialty, produced since the 19th century, is characterized by its large size, typically ranging from one to three kilograms, and its distinctive orange-red color, which comes from ground red pepper.
The preparation begins with the careful selection of lean cuts of pork (about 70%), which are hand-cut into medium-sized pieces and mixed with fat (about 30%). After resting overnight, the mixture is seasoned with salt, black pepper, wild fennel, garlic, and a combination of sweet and spicy red pepper.
Traditionally, it is stuffed into natural pig bladders, giving it a characteristic round or pear-shaped form. The curing process lasts at least 100 days, allowing the development of an intense flavor and firm texture.
