A classic for moments of pleasure

Speck Alto Adige PGI is one of the most popular ingredients in South Tyrolean cuisine

Passion for tasty, wholesome food has always been part of South Tyrol's culture. This is reflected in the quality products from our region that have been carefully produced over generations – like our Speck Alto Adige PGI. Smoky-delicate in taste, slightly spicy and tender. Our high-quality, quality-tested Speck Alto Adige is a treat for gourmets and provides us with many enjoyable moments to spend with family and friends.

Quality from tradition

Milk-smoked and air-dried: Speck Alto Adige combines the best of north and south and remains a well-kept secret

Our Speck Alto Adige PGI accompanies us throughout the day and is a true classic in South Tyrol's gastronomy. But what makes it so? It cannot be missing from any Marende – that's what we call a snack in this region – but also at lunchtime, whether in Knödel dumplings, coleslaw, fried crispy with roast potatoes, or even in risotto, it provides an indispensable spicy taste. We like to start the evening with an aperitif – and here too we serve Speck as a hearty appetiser to go with it.

Of course, besides its versatility, its flavour is simply unique. In contrast to the smoked ham from the North and the air-dried ham from the South, the Speck Alto Adige PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) combines both methods: it is both lightly smoked and air-dried. And this light smokiness, the scent of fresh mountain air, the aromatic crust of herbs and spices consisting of rosemary, juniper and bay leaf make ham lovers' mouths water. But did you also know that Speck Alto Adige production has a long tradition, with each producer following a very unique recipe that is handed down from generation to generation like a family secret

South Tyrolean Speck (PGI) and sustainability

The South Tyrol/Südtirol Speck Consortium is committed to making local cured ham production fit for the future. The approach will take into account environmental, social and economic factors. This includes efforts to develop new animal welfare standards and to improve existing quality guidelines, as well as using renewable energy sources and environmentally friendly packaging. Another focus is on promoting the local circular economy in order to use resources more efficiently and minimise waste. Close collaboration with other South Tyrolean quality products is also intended to strengthen the regional culinary tradition. With these and other measures, South Tyrol's dedicated speck producers intend to make an important contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
