Porchetta - An Italian Gastronomical Delight

Porchetta

Porchetta is an Italian meat product. It is produced by first gutting a pig and then cooking it in its entirety slowing over a wood fire for many hours. The meat is then sliced thinly and often served in a sandwhich (panino).

Porchetta is served in many regions of Italy. Perhaps the best porchetta comes from the small village of Valle San Giovanni near Teramo in Abruzzo. The chefs in this village are known throughout the world for manner in which they produce this dish. Each year in this town a gathering is held at Casale to celebrate the making of a porchetta.
