What Is Bresaola
Bresaola is an air-dried beef that hails from Italy, although many cultures across the Mediterranean and Middle East have similar styles of charcuterie. While I’m a sucker for good cured pork, they always hog the spotlight so I thought I’d feature another equally delicious cured meat.
This is also a shoo-in when you have nonpork eaters around but still want an elegant small bite to start the meal.
