TASTY AND DELICIOUS RAGUSA PORK MORTADELLA FROM THE SLOW FOOD PRESIDIUM: A SICILIAN EXCELLENCE NOT TO BE MISSED FOR A UNIQUE TASTE EXPERIENCE
Do you want to buy a typical 100% Sicilian product, with an intense flavor and with the best quality / price ratio?
Buy the delicious Ragusan donkey mortadella handcrafted, following tradition, by the sausage factory "Il Chiaramontano".
The product is characterized by the craftsmanship of genuine Sicilian raw materials, carried out according to strict respect for the Sicilian tradition to enhance the taste.
Once the donkey was an important presence in the countryside of southern Italy. The Ragusan breed is one of the youngest: only in 1953 the Institute of Equestrian Increment of Catania managed to establish some typological characteristics. The Ragusan donkey has a dark bay coat with a "snake or deer" belly, a gray muzzle with shaved hairs, black mane and tail, not heavy head, almost straight profile, wide and flat forehead, large eyes circled with white hair, well-worn ears, straight and of medium length, wide rump and robust limbs. Like most local breeds of donkeys, today the Ragusa is also at risk of extinction: there are about a thousand heads left. The donkey is much longer lived than the horse: it can reach up to 45 years. Perhaps its use in fatigue tasks in the countryside is no cheaper, but it has another little-known value: its milk, in fact, has characteristics very similar to the human one.
The need for the Slow Food Presidium was born in order to protect and save this unique breed from extinction. In recent decades, in fact, the Ragusan donkey has no longer been used for work in the fields.

The sausage factory was born in the 90s thanks to the passion of Massimiliano Castro, in Chiaramonte Gulfi in Sicily where he founded his first butcher's shop. Always driven, as well as by the passion for good food, by the search for innovation in the food field and at the same time by the rediscovery of the centuries-old gastronomic traditions of his homeland, he began to work local meats and at the end of the 90s he left the traditional schemes producing cured meats and sausages with a strong link with the territory but using extraordinary raw materials such as donkey foal and black pig meat, native of the Sicilian territory. The continuous and passionate search for the rediscovery of the Sicilian culinary tradition leads him to achieve in 2012 the prestigious "Best in Sicily" award as the best butcher in Sicily thanks to his "Donkey salami", a salami that served as a forerunner for a lucky and delicious line of sausages obtained thanks to the tasty meat of this useful animal. Massimiliano's love for his craft and his land leads him to use the best it has to offer, not only fine meat of Ragusan Donkey and Sicilian Black Pig, but also the best in the agri-food sector the territory can offer: Pistachios, Nero d'Avola wine, Trapani salt, Ragusan cattle and buffaloes and much more ... At the end of 2014 he moved production to Ragusa where Massimiliano surrounded himself with passionate sausage artisans like him and soon set to work collaborating in close synergy, also agreeing on the correct feeding of livestock, with local breeders with the aim of creating traditional products with an eye always turned to innovation.
