5 x Sliced Pečenica by Dimmes 100g - Croatian Smoked Pork
Loin
Brand: Dimmes
Traditional Croatian dry-cured smoked pork loin - from
the mountainous region of Drnis. The meat must be sourced locally
and be of premium quality. Pecenica is salted with both fine and
coarse sea salt, pressed with weights; after which it is left to be
smoked by smoldering beech trees, oaks or hornbeam. The smoking
process is a distinction compared to the lonzino or bresaola
originating in Italy. Following that, the pecenica is placed
outside in the wind to be thoroughly dried, for at least 12 months.
Its characteristic aroma, flavour and texture is attributed to a
unique mixture of two distinct local types of wind that the ham is
left to be dried by. The cold and dry Bora, coming from the
north-east and the warm and humid Jugo, arriving from the south -
make for a balancing act, allowing the pork loin to mature into an
extraordinary delicacy. A premium cut, served for special
occasions. About the Producer Dimmes is a renowned prsut, panceta
