The loin is a cut that comes from the side of the back of the pig, better known as the cut of the carrè. Thanks to its long maturation, which can vary from 6 to 12 months depending on the size of the muscle, the flavor is intense but at the same time tasty and delicate making it a first choice salami.
The term "Black Pig of the Nebrodi" indicates a population of native pigs, characterized by small size and dark coat, of the territories of the Nebrodi Mountains area, in north-eastern Sicily. The Black pigs of the Nebrodi are bred in the semi-wild and wild state in large areas used for natural grazing of chestnuts and acorns; only in conjunction with the births is resorted to food supplementation with cereals and legumes from Sicilian crops. In each species prevails the indigenous breed subjected, especially in recent years, to crosses with other breeds; therefore with risks of loss of the original genetic characteristics that time and territory have determined. The extinction of this pig breed (one of the few survivors in Italy) would constitute a serious loss for the genetic heritage, but also and above all for the local economy and for the gastronomic pleasure.
The need for the Slow Food Presidium was then born in order to protect the breeding technique and the particularity of these pigs. The Presidium has brought together a group of breeders and butchers and promotes the rich and varied range of traditional butcher products of the area of the Nebrodi Mountains (provinces of Messina, Enna and Catania).
