Tuscan Wild Boar Ragù: game from the Maremman scrubland in a jar

There is a flavour that belongs to the Tuscan macchia — the dense Mediterranean scrubland — and cannot be found elsewhere: the flavour of wild boar, one of the most important ingredients in Tuscan country cooking for centuries. Tuscan Wild Boar Ragù (ragù di cinghiale) is that flavour in a jar: game from the scrubland, slow-cooked with wine, aromatic herbs and tomato, ready to use immediately on pasta or polenta.

What is Tuscan Wild Boar Ragù

Tuscan Wild Boar Ragù is a sauce made from wild boar meat (not farmed), coarsely minced and slowly simmered with soffritto (onion, carrot, celery), red wine, crushed tomato, olive oil and aromatic herbs (rosemary, bay leaf, juniper). Characterised by intense, gamey flavour, dark colour and a well-balanced acidity from the wine and tomatoes.

How It Is Made by Dispensa Toscana

Dispensa Toscana produces wild boar ragù in Tuscany with 60% wild boar meat from free-living animals hunted in approved zones according to Italian hunting law. The meat is coarsely minced and simmered 3–4 hours at low heat with Tuscan red wine and crushed tomatoes. No preservatives: sterilisation alone guarantees 24 months shelf life at room temperature in the sealed jar.

🍝 How to Use

With Pici

The classic Tuscan pairing. Pici are thick and irregular — ideal for capturing pieces of meat from the ragù. Heat ragù in a pan, add the cooked pici with a ladle of pasta water, toss for 1 minute. Serve with grated Cave-Aged Pecorino Stagionato.

With Pappardelle

Another classic combination. Wide pappardelle hold up beautifully to robust sauces.

With Polenta

An autumn/winter alternative: wild boar ragù on soft polenta is a very Tuscan trattoria dish.
