Description | Cooked and lightly smoked speck produced according to the South Tyrolean tradition |
---|---|
Appearance | The slice shows a pleasant pink colour |
Taste | Sweet, with slight smoked notes |
Curiosity | It is a product of the South Tyrolean tradition, born as an alternative to maturing, impossible to carry out in the summer months; in fact it was originally prepared in summer when it was difficult to preserve the pork for the production of speck |
Our selection | A combination that convinced us immediately: the same raw material as classic speck but with a processing similar to that of a cooked ham to which smoking is also added, and the unmistakable signature of Karl Bernardi |
Suggestions | Try it with grated fresh horseradish or in combination with a glass of Fiano di Avellino DOCG or Alsace Pinot Gris |

The producer
Karl Bernardi - Brunico (BZ) - Alto Adige
Why we chose them
Everything started when Karl Oberhofer founded his butchery in the Spitalgasse, in Brunico. For the company's motto just one word was chosen:
quality. Today, quality still remains the pillar of the company. Towards the end of the Second World War, the nephew of Karl Obenhofer, Paul
Bernardi, took over the reins of the company. He then bought the old house Hochgruber, in the center of Brunico, where since 1962 the retail store
is located. But it is with Karl Bernardi, the son of Paul, and his passion for the typical South Tyrolean products that the company became as it is
today. We have been working with Karl for over twenty years, and we would like to say that some of its products, such as speck are among the best
in South Tyrol. The mix of fresh herbs, salt and spices used to season the hams it's a recipe handed down from one generation to another and
jealously safeguarded. The combination of traditional craftmanship, innovative techniques, attention during the selection of row materials and the
unique climate of the Pusteria, really makes those products unique.
