So, what is speck?

Speck is a type of cured meat that originated in the Italian region of Alto Adige. It is made from pork belly, which is seasoned with a combination of salt, garlic, juniper berries, and other spices before being smoked over beech wood. The smoking process gives speck its distinctive flavor and aroma, which are slightly sweet and smoky with hints of nutmeg and cloves. Speck is often served thinly sliced as an appetizer or used as a flavorful addition to pasta dishes, soups, and salads. Its intense flavor makes it a popular ingredient in many cuisines around the world.
