Renieri "Cinta Senese DOP” Prosciutto

How we make it

Renieri “Cinta Senese DOP” prosciutto is the result of painstaking care and dedication. Each stage of the process is monitored carefully to ensure that the traditional production of this Tuscan gastronomic masterpiece is respected.

1.

BREEDING

Our CINTA SENESE pigs graze outdoors for over 12 months, among the woods and hills around Siena.

The diet of our Cinta Senese pigs consists exclusively of meadow grass, woodland resources, supplemented by non-GMO Tuscan cereals.

Our family personally oversees this important phase.

2.

SALTING

Salting is carried out by hand.

It is an ancient, manual process, in which the art of knowing how to dose salt and spices is fundamental.

Each thigh is assessed individually for weight and shape by our master salters, who then monitor the salting time, so that RENIERI prosciutto acquires its inimitable flavour.

3.

AGEING

The ageing process takes place slowly and naturally in rooms designed especially to recreate the conditions of the cellars of days gone by: large windows that open to encourage the necessary circulation of air to obtain a unique prosciutto with an unmistakable aroma.

It is here that the prosciutto matures as it ages, acquiring aromas, taste and flavour and also becoming easier to digest.

4.

THE RESULT

The result is a special prosciutto with a unique and unmistakable flavour and aroma of brushwood, hazelnuts and acorns.
