Sweet Red Soppressata
Soppressata Rossa Castelluccese
It is a variant typically from Calabria and Basilicata and the spice used is Senise pepper powder. It is a cured meat product made with lean meats seasoned with whole black pepper, salt, and ground pepper. The meat comes from semi-wild farms of one of the partners of the Salumificio. The sausage casing maintains its natural shape and is not pressed or crushed as is done in other municipalities of Basilicata. Important and different is the tying of the casing which follows its natural grain. This detail is important because the closing and filling of the casing is done manually without the use of any technology.
