Lardo di Camaiore

Lardo di Camaiore is a traditional lard originating from Camaiore in Tuscany. The lard is white in color, with red veins running throughout it. It’s made from the fatty part of the pig’s back. Slices of lard are covered with a layer of garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

They’re traditionally placed on marble surfaces at an incline in order to mature shortly, and the lard is then ready to be sold and enjoyed. Thin slices of lardo di Camaiore are usually served with slices of fresh or toasted bread and other salamis, then enjoyed as an appetizer.
