In breve

The dish in short

  • Seasoned only with fine sea salt and a mix of black pepper, rosemary and garlic.
  • Salt at 15 g–30 g per 1 kg of meat, rested, then the excess massaged off; the spice mix at 150 g–250 g per 100 kg of meat.
  • Boned by hand, rolled and sewn with natural-fibre string, then tied 6–8 times around so it stays compact.
  • Into an oven already at 200 °C or more, roasted at 160 °C–280 °C for hours, until the crust on top is crisp and brown.
  • Only porchetta made in Ariccia from female pigs, under the PGI specification, may carry the name.
