Artisan Tuscan Porchetta Cooked with Wood

Not for nothing did the ancient Romans say that the pig was made for the banquet table.

A recipe from the cookbook from two thousand years ago, attributed to the gourmet Apicius: it speaks of a whole tender pig, bones deprived, seasoned with wild herbs and slowly roasted over a wood fire.

Today the traditional flavor is preserved but only the pork shoulder is used, with the addition of steam to seal the seasonings.

The Porchetta Toscana Artigianale is traditionally produced by a young pig: seasoned with aromatic herbs, steamed, lightly smoked, roasted in a wood oven, without preserving.

The cooking duration varies from 9 to 12 hours, and it is this slow cooking that keeps the crust crisp and the inside soft and tasty.

This Tuscan Artisan specialty is made with the best Italian pork and does not contain artificial preservatives.

Production

The carcasses are boned manually and the excess meat is also removed, which is then used for cured meats and other cuts.

Subsequently we proceed to salting with sea salt; the rest and manual massage phases follow to eliminate any salt that has not been absorbed by the meat.

We then proceed to the spicing with garlic, rosemary and black pepper, in powder or coarsely ground.

Before cooking, the Tuscan porchetta is tied with a string in order to maintain its original compactness.

Then fixed to a food or stainless steel pipe so that the heat also spreads inside.

Cooking lasts from 5 to 12 hours, at a temperature between 160 and 280 ° C.

After being taken out of the oven, it is placed in the cooling rooms at a temperature between 10 and 30 ° C (for 5-15 hours).

So as to eliminate excess fat and liquids and give the right consistency to the crust, the typical color to the meat and a longer shelf life to the product.

Shipped in chilled polystyrene food boxes, the Tuscan porchetta will arrive at your home ready to be eaten.

History and Consumption

Baked porchetta boasts a millenary tradition, presumably dating back to pre-Romanesque times and to the population of the Latins.

In fact, not only is it attributed to Ariccia the custom of offering pork as a sacrifice to the gods, but it is also believed that, thanks to the presence of the Roman nobility - who used to move to Ariccia for the summer season or to organize hunting - it has been possible to develop that craftsmanship in preparing porchetta that continues to be handed down in the Ariccine families from father to son. 

The first "Sagra della Porchetta di Ariccia" was organized in 1950.

Since then every year in Ariccia this suggestive and characteristic event takes place where the product is offered on festively decorated stalls by vendors dressed in traditional clothes. 

Evidence of this is the Extract from the Register of acts of the Municipal Council of 14 September 1962, relating to the contribution for the feast of the Patron Saint Apollonia and the Sagra della Porchetta, found in the archives of the Municipality of Ariccia.
