Cinta Senese PDO bacon

At the Patrone Tuscan Agricultural Butcher's Shop , the breeding follows rigorous principles of ethics and sustainability , going well beyond the provisions of the Cinta Senese DOP specification. According to the consortium's rules, a certified pig must graze outdoors for at least 12 months , with a maximum density of 10 animals per hectare . We have chosen to exceed these standards, guaranteeing an increase minimum of 24 months . This means a growth process. natural and unforced , with a positive impact on both the animal's well-being and the quality of the meat. Our pigs live in freedom , feeding mainly on alfalfa, roots, tubers and acorns , while cereals represent only a small supplement. This natural diet helps to obtain a fat rich in omega-3 , the so-called "good fat" (HDL cholesterol), recommended for those with cholesterol problems. In addition, slow growth allows the meat to develop a intense colour and a superior organoleptic profile , characterised by a high content of oleic acid .
