Origin
Speck is a signature dish from Alto Adige, the northern-most province of Italy, also known as South Tyrol. Renowned for its cured meat traditions, Speck's name originates from the German word "Spec." Historical evidence traces Speck’s roots to the 1200s, though it was first documented in the 18th century. Traditionally, Speck was prepared by farmers during Christmas to preserve meat for the year ahead. Today, families in South Tyrol continue to use traditional recipes to produce Speck with its unmistakable smoky, savoury flavour.

I found everything in perfect condition, great quality and very well priced, will be ordering again. One question, can I split the large pack of Parma ham up, would the meat keep if I put it into sealed freezer bags, obviously not freeze it, but leave it in the fridge. Going to try the more of your products. Excellent
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much, Annie! We’re delighted to hear everything arrived in perfect condition and that you were happy with the quality and value. 😊
And yes, absolutely. You can split the larger Parma ham into smaller portions. Once you open the original pack, wrap each portion tightly in cling film and then place it inside a well-sealed freezer/zip bag, removing as much air as possible. Keep the portions refrigerated; if you have a vacuum sealer, that’s even better.
Just make sure you follow the storage instructions and use-by date on the original packaging once opened. We wouldn’t recommend freezing Parma ham, as this can affect its texture and flavour.
Thank you again for your lovely review, and we hope you enjoy trying more of our products!❤️
Delicious speck. Arrived one day after order. Well packaged, meat was still chilled. A delicacy that I last enjoyed when living in Vienna. Highly recommend. Con Affetto #7612.
