Origin

Speck is a signature dish from Alto Adige, the northern-most province of Italy, also known as South Tyrol. Famous for its cured meat traditions, Speck derives its name from the German word "Spec." Historians trace Speck's origins back to the 1200s, though it was first documented in the 18th century. Traditionally, farmers prepared Speck during Christmas to preserve meat for the entire year. Even today, families in South Tyrol use age-old recipes, ensuring Speck retains its traditional, savoury flavour.
