Alps Sopressata Sweet and Hot
Alps Sopressata is crafted using time-honored techniques that prioritize slow curing over speed. Alps uses a coarse grind of premium pork to ensure a rustic texture that holds its shape when sliced. Seasoned simply with garlic, salt, and a balanced blend of red and black pepper, these sticks are air-dried in natural casings. This patient aging process allows the moisture to escape naturally, concentrating the flavor and resulting in a firm, buttery bite.

Market Notes
Quantity: This selection includes two full sticks (one sweet, one hot). Because these are handmade, weights may fluctuate slightly due to the natural evaporation during the curing phase.
Value: You are receiving professional-grade salumi typically reserved for specialty butcher shops. The dual-flavor profile provides variety for entertaining without needing to purchase multiple bulk items.
Packaging: Arrives securely wrapped to maintain the integrity of the natural casing.
Francesco's Tip: Always slice this on a bias. If you leave the slices at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving, the pork fat begins to soften, and the pepper heat becomes much more vibrant on the palate.
How should I store this sopressata?
For the best results, store in a cool, dry place. Once the seal is broken, wrap the remaining stick in parchment or butcher paper and refrigerate.
Is the white dusting on the outside normal?
Yes, that is a natural part of the aging process for authentic air-dried meats. It is safe and can be wiped off or peeled away with the casing.
