Azienda Agricola Alfano Antonio

In San Paolo Albanese, Basilicata, Azienda Agricola Alfano Antonio crafts three cured meats that define Calabrian artisanal skill within denominations spread across 404 municipalities. This trio covers the entire spectrum of the region's pork butchery expertise, from peppery meats to deeply rooted preservation techniques. Pancetta di Calabria DOP is a rectangular pork belly aged for over thirty days, often dusted with chili pepper; Salsiccia di Calabria DOP is presented in a chain; Soppressata di Calabria DOP takes the form of its distinctive cylinders, and each product rests for at least forty-five days. Three parallel denominations, three distinct processes that share the same raw material and the same curing culture. Here, the number does not disperse but completes: each cured meat tells a chapter of Calabrian charcuterie, and together they form the complete picture. Alfano's work adheres to precise regulations, measuring quality by maturation times and the balance of meat, fat, and spice that each piece must achieve before being ready.
