- Description
- One of the best speck of Alto Adige, obtained with fresh pork meat with controlled ph, and cold smoked
- Appearance
- It shows a very nice pink colour, with a perfect balance between the lean meat and the fat; compared with the traditional shield shape, this new speck is more squared, without pressing
- Taste
- Full and balanced, not too salty, delicately smoked and spiced
- Maturing
- 6-7 months, depending on weight, degree of dehydration and weather; the speck has to be soft even if long matured, because it has to ripen and not dry out, and this is very important for Karl
- Curiosity
- The company, founded by Karl Oberhofer, was bought out by his nephew Paul Bernardi in the 60s but now it is Karl, his son, who leads this company with love, passion and skill. Karl developed a new production technique which allows to obtain specks more regular in shape, to opstimise the yield and minimize the waste.

Can be cut in small cubes as well and enjoyed by its own. When added to cream and tomato sauces it gives a beautiful aroma and depth

The producer
Karl Bernardi - Brunico (BZ) - Alto Adige
Selected because
Everything started when Karl Oberhofer founded his butchery in the Spitalgasse, in Brunico. For the company's motto just one word was chosen:
quality. Today, quality still remains the pillar of the company. Towards the end of the Second World War, the nephew of Karl Obenhofer, Paul
Bernardi, took over the reins of the company. He then bought the old house Hochgruber, in the center of Brunico, where since 1962 the retail store
is located. But it is with Karl Bernardi, the son of Paul, and his passion for the typical South Tyrolean products that the company became as it is
today. We have been working with Karl for over twenty years, and we would like to say that some of its products, such as speck are among the best
in South Tyrol. The mix of fresh herbs, salt and spices used to season the hams it's a recipe handed down from one generation to another and
jealously safeguarded. The combination of traditional craftmanship, innovative techniques, attention during the selection of row materials and the
unique climate of the Pusteria, really makes those products unique.
