At Easter on the table a specialty for true connoisseurs

Preparations for Easter are about to begin, will you have lunch with family or friends?
 
As every year, we offer you a typical specialty of our region which has a strange name: “Cappello del prete” or Gambotto.
 
It is a cured meat that comes from the artisanal processing of the shoulder of the pig which is still whole and seasoned with spices and left to rest for a few days, after which it is hand-stitched on itself so as to have a shape similar to that of a priest's hat .
 
Due to limited production, in order to be able to respond to all requests in time, we ask you to book it as soon as possible or at least a week before by sending an email to info@salumificiolarocca.com and pick it up at our Bottega del Suino D'Oro shop in Castell'Arquato or buy it online 10 days in advance (one week + shipping time which is 2 or 3 working days).
 
The shipment takes place in vacuum packs and in boxes containing polystyrene food packaging refrigerated with synthetic ice.
 
The Priest's hat can be kept in the refrigerator, always vacuum-packed, for 15-20 days, it is consumed after having removed it from the bag, after having carefully cooked it for about three hours over low heat until the rind is so soft that it opens slightly. You will have a tender meat with a tasty, savory and sweet flavor at the same time, with accentuated aromatic notes of spices.
 
It is served hot cut into thick slices accompanied by salsa verde, mashed potatoes, mustard or cranberry sauce, but it is also excellent eaten cold the next day.
