Vescovi Culatta di Lagrimone

Vescovi Culatta di Lagrimone is a premium cured meat product originating from the Parma region of Italy. It is produced by Salumificio Vescovi, a specialized charcuterie producer located in the village of Lagrimone, within the municipality of Tizzano Val Parma. The brand was established by Renato Vescovi and continues to be managed by the Vescovi family, specifically under the corporate entity Vescovi Renato S.r.l.

The 'Culatta' (also known as Culaccia) is a specific cut of the pork haunch, specifically the most valuable part used for Culatello, but processed with its rind left on. This traditional method allows for a natural aging process that results in a sweeter, softer texture compared to other cured meats. The production is deeply tied to the unique microclimate of the Val Parma hills, where the fresh air of the Apennines aids in natural seasoning without the need for nitrites or nitrates in their traditional line.
