Our cured meats to be cooked are back: our Cotechino Invisitidura, Il Cappello del prete and the Cotechino and the pre-cooked Zampone
You can buy them in the best delicatessens, in our Bottega del Suino d'Oro in Castell'Arquato in via Caneto and on our Online Shop.
The Cotechino Invistidura (Investiture) originates from an ancient tradition of the Middle Ages and that is from the ceremony that accompanied the assignment of a title, a fiefdom or an office by the sovereign or the powerful on duty; the solemn ceremony that accompanied this act was called the Investiture and hence the name of the salami that was consumed during the celebrations and which was also "dressed" for the occasion, i.e. stuffed into natural casings.
It requires careful cooking for about three hours on a low flame. It is served hot cut into thick slices accompanied by vegetable creams, purées or the classic stewed lentils.
And let's not forget its auspicious value that we want to reach all our customers!
The Priest's Hat is always available only on order made at least one week in advance.
To please everyone, we ask you to book the product by sending an email to info@salumificiolarocca.com.
The Cappello del Prete is a traditional product whose production area includes the territory of the province of Piacenza. Also in the Arquatese tradition, it comes from pork shoulder deboning. The part, sectioned whole with its rind, is spiced and left to rest for a few days, then sewn back on itself by hand to take precisely the ancient shape of the priest's headgear (that of Don Camillo, to be clear). To keep it longer it was customary to fix it between two wooden slats.
Both the Priest's hat and the cotechino invistidura are available only for shipments in Italy, they are not available for shipments abroad.
