|---|---|
| Appearance | The shape is rounded and slightly elongated, with visible leg and hoof; the meat, which is deep purple in colour, has good marbling |

| Curiosity | Grigio del Casentino pigs are raised outdoors, in the wild, and are slaughtered only when they reach a weight of 120-160 kg. Prosciutto del Casentino del Presidio is aged for a particularly long time, resulting in an extraordinary organoleptic profile |
| Our selection | This ham is made only from pigs reared within the Casantinesi Forest National Park. Here, the animals live in the wild, free to graze on acorns, chestnuts and tubers: a beautiful but laborious type of farming, a choice driven by the deep passion of the Orlandi family, who are dedicated to every stage of the supply chain, from the birth of the pigs to their feeding, breeding, processing and marketing of the products. |

Why we chose them
The wild breeding farm Le Selve di Vallolmo is located in the uncontaminated National Park of Casentino forest. We are in the oriental part of
Tuscany and this company take care of Grigio del Casentino pigs under the supervision of the founder Claudio Orlandi. It is a tough, but beautiful
and passion driven activity, run by the whole Claudio's family. Each member leads a different part of the business, from pigs birth to animal feeding,
from breeding to cold cuts production and sales.The farm was born as Large White pigs breeder in the 80. Then starting with new millennium
Claudio felt the need to integrate and differentiate more his proposition and started a charcuterie production with high quality meats. Grigio del
Casentino pigs arrived a bit later, they are the result of a cross between a classic pig and Moro Romagnolo or Cinta Senese. Those animal are the
protagonist of a project which protects them from the risk of extinction. A few local breeders, colleagues of Claudio, are contributing at the
safeguard
of this maculated pig. The core product of today tasting is the Prosciutto del Casentino, Slow Food Presidium, and then Mortadella, Pancetta and
Ruffiana, all rigorously made with Grigio del Casentino meats.
