The Secret of Our Bacon
Our Merafino South Tyrolean Speck PGI is made according to a closely guarded family recipe. For over 30 years, we’ve been using a very special combination at our facility in Naturns: a brief, cold smoking process followed by months of aging in the purest South Tyrolean mountain air. During this time, each ham undergoes the full cycle of all four seasons. The result is a uniquely mild yet savory flavor.
This traditional craft is deeply rooted in Italy’s culinary culture. Since 2025, it has even been recognized as part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.
