Sliced Daniele Bresaola

$21.69 Sliced Daniele Bresaola Must ship express to the West Coast. Bresaola is a air-dried, salted beef that has been aged three months until it hardens and turns a dark red, purplish color. It originated in Valtellina, a valley in the Alps of northern Italy. A strict trimming process is essential to preserve its rich flavor and unforgettable taste. Legs of beef are defatted, seasoned with a dry rub of salts, spices, cinnamon & nutmeg. They are then left to cure for a few days. A drying period of between one and three months follows, depending on the weight of the particular bresaola. The meat loses up to 40% of its original weight during aging.
