					<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Pork loin is </span><b>a precious cut</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that we obtain from the back of the pig. Our Grigio del Casentino meat </span><b>does not require long cooking</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to get tender or </span><b>seasonings</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to intensify the flavors, because our semi-free range bred pigs have </span><b>a natural tastier meat. </b>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pork loin &#8211; </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">arista </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">in Italian &#8211; is the most representative main course of </span><b>Tuscan farmers’ cuisine</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Its Italian name dates back to </span><b>1439</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, when the Greek Cardinal Bressarione tasted a slice of this meat during the Ecumenical Council of the Roman and Greek Church in Florence. </span><b>“Aristos!” </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">he remarked &#8211; that is, </span><b>“the best”</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> &#8211; and the people of Florence thought he related to the pork cut and not specifically to its taste. Since then, this cut is known in Italian as </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">arista</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our pork loin is a cut with a good proportion of </span><b>fat</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: our pigs live in the woods and in winter they put on fat to protect from cold. This fat, which is commonly trimmed in the industrial meat, is precisely what makes this cut excellent. When it melts, it protects the meat and adds flavor. Cooking </span><b>does not necessarily have to be long</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, it’s enough that heat gets beyond the fat, to the heart of the piece. </span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Rib-eye steak is</span><b> a very tasty cut</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, with an external layer of firm, compact fat and a good marbling in the center. It is the part between the belly and the shoulder and it can be cooked as a whole, roasted, or cut in slices. </span>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rib-eye steak is one of the tastier cuts of the pork. </span><b>The balance between lean and fat </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">is simply perfect: once it is cooked, the fat becomes tender and super tasty, while the slices remain moist and juicy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our rib-eye steak </span><b>does not need particular seasoning</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, because it already has the taste of the authentic pork bred in its natural habitat. Our semi-free range animals feed on what nature offers them and their meat tastes different depending on the season. If you are looking for </span><b>a genuine sensorial experience</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, our Grigio del Casentino rib-eye steak is what you need. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pork ribs, or </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">costoliccio </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">as we say in Tuscany, was a poor cut, but a flavor packed one! Today, ribs are the kings of respectable barbecues. The meat around the bone is lean and tasty, while the upper fat layer, which becomes tender in cooking, adds an incredible flavor with each and every bite. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our meat is </span><b>a superior-quality raw material</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that does not need long cooking or particular seasoning to provide</span><b> a unique experience</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Grigio del Casentino pork ribs can be prepared in a thousand different ways, and barbecue is just one of them. </span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Pork rind is </span><b>a raw material that deserves to be re-discovered</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It is exceptional for both traditional and innovative recipes, for slow cooking as well as for high temperatures, which make it pop like a crispy pork chip.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With our </span><b>Grigio del Casentino® project</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, we aim to propose &#8211; or better propose once again &#8211; all those farmers’ traditional cuts which are now wrongly underestimated. With pigs like ours, which live in their natural habitat in the Casentino woods and feed on what nature offers, the concept of low-value meat does not exist at all. </span></p>
<p><b>All meat is precious</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, tasty, healthy and authentic and </span><b>our pork rind </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">proves it. Let’s taste it with beans, in flavor-packed cold cuts like our Capaccia, or try it out in your newest recipe. More than a simple cut, </span><b>the chance to appreciate a unique flavor.  </b></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you ever tasted </span><b>a fillet steak from an </b><b><i>actual </i></b><b>pig</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which lives free in its natural habitat in the woods and feeds only on nature? If the answer is no, well, you have never tasted </span><b>the pure flavor of meat as it used to be. </b>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fillet steak is by far </span><b>one of the most known and cooked pork cuts</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It is a precious cut that includes </span><b>the </b><b>prime rib/steak (bistecca)</b><b> and the fillet</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. You can cook it in a thousand different ways and our Grigio del Casentino fillet steak </span><b>does not even need long cooking</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Heat just has to pass through the rind and the fat, which becomes super tender and tasty in cooking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When meat is an exceptional raw material, </span><b>you don’t need particular seasoning</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">.

					<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Bones </span><b>preserve all the flavor </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">of our animals. Whatever recipe you choose, expect a taste experience as you have never had before and a </span><b>new perspective </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">of pork itself: all is precious, all is good.</span>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we say </span><b>“everything but the oink”</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, we mean exactly this. When we are dealing with an animal such as the Grigio del Casentino pig, with</span><b> excellent meat for taste and nutritional balance</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, each and every part is truly precious. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Who cooks knows it perfectly: </span><b>high-quality bones</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> make </span><b>all the difference in every recipe</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Our bones still have </span><b>little bits of meat</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and are perfect for unique broths and fine dishes made with brown stock, or to flavor up vegetables and stews. </span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Pork belly is a “striped” cut, in which </span><b>lean meat alternates with fat</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in a perfect balance of different flavors and textures. It is obtained </span><b>from the pig’s side</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and it has such </span><b>an intense, rich and tasty flavor</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> it could also come perfectly with no seasoning. </span>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the pork belly, </span><b>the lean and the fat </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">are more or less equivalent in weight. The fat is super tasty and so tender it melts in cooking. The lean meat is firm and compact, in </span><b>variable proportion</b> <b>depending on the season </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">of the butchery: in winter, our pigs have more fat to protect from cold. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The pork belly is an old cut, ever-present in Tuscan barbecues worthy of their names. The Grigio del Casentino pork belly, though, is excellent for any double-cooking or fusion recipes, because low temperatures maintain all the fat and its tastiness. </span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: 400;">This </span><b>fresh sausage, so typical of the Casentino valleys, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">is called </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">rocchio </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">locally. The word comes from the Latin </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">rotolus</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> which literally means </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">roll</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, in this case a roll of </span><b>coarsely ground meat</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> stuffed in a natural gut casing. This simple recipe is perfect to really make the most of the pure flavor of Grigio del Casentino pork meat. </span>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our Grigio del Casentino fresh sausage is a traditional recipe and </span><b>meat is coarsely grounded</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It is a genuine, sincere product, for which we only use top-quality meat from our pigs, plus </span><b>fat (15% at most)</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. In cooking, </span><b>our sausages crumble</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: we don’t use any thickeners, but “just” an excellent raw material, processed in a simple way according to the local tradition. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our sausages are </span><b>the very essence of traditional pork butchery</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Meat is carefully selected, </span><b>grounded as it was once</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and stuffed in a natural casing to offer a taste of the </span><b>pure flavor of pork bred by nature </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">at every bite. One look at them and you will know, because our sausages are natural in their color too!</span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<b>Long live the offal!</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Who says it is not as noble as the other cuts? Our fresh </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">sambudello </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">sausage perfectly proves it: </span><b>aromatic and spicy, it intrigues the most unconventional palates</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It is the epitome of the exploitation of every part of the pork and we gave it a new, re-discovered guise.</span>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fresh </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">sambudello</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> sausage stems from </span><b>the need to save the meat</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for the periods of famine. The name itself proves it: </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">sambudello </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">is a Tuscan word that comes from </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“s’ha un budello?”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (“do we have a gut?”). Pork butchers would try to </span><b>save and store all they could after the butchering</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, including the less noble cuts, for which they need a natural casing. Our recipe is less “strong” than the original, but still, intense and genuine. </span></p>
<p><b>Wild fennel flowers</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, picked in the fields and dried naturally, perfectly match this super tasty meat, which is just slightly fatter than the normal sausages. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most unconventional products, </span><b>traditional and local, but with a great personality</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Aromatic, spicy and even sweet, our </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">sambudello</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> can become a truly interesting ingredient for traditional and creative recipes. </span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: 400;">As the Italian name </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">capocollo</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> suggests, this is the part </span><b>between the head, </b><b><i>capo</i></b><b>, and the neck, </b><b><i>collo</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This cut is </span><b>naturally rich in fat</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and perfect for long cooking as well as for quick recipes. </span>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fresh pork collar is a cut with </span><b>a good proportion of fat</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The whole piece is perfect to be roasted, while the slices can also be grilled or simply cooked in a pan.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fresh pork collar can be used in many recipes: the firm, super tasty fat gets very tender when cooked and gives off all its flavor. Due to the specific composition of this meat, </span><b>we advise you to avoid excessive seasoning</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, especially salt. </span><b>This meat is just perfect as it is</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, you don’t really need to add anything else. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our pigs live in a semi-free range and nature, with its unique rhythm, greatly affects the meat’s peculiarities. In winter, our pigs put on weight to protect from cold. The pigs slaughtered in the winter months, thus, produce a meat that’s naturally fatter than those slaughtered in the summer months. </span><b>This too is breeding as nature intended. </b></p>
