la bottega di adò and the art of excellence
excellence in the heritage of Mediterranean cuisine
In the early sixteenth century Anton Francesco Grazzini, known as "il Lasca", sang its praises:
O my noble pig, my worthy pig,
above all animals the finest,
dear companion of lunches and suppers.
You satisfy every living soul
with your fine and handsome limbs,
there is nothing bad in you at all.
From head to foot, your blood, even your skin
you give us as food, in as many ways as
baking tins, spits, pots and pans can manage.
excellence in the heritage of Mediterranean cuisine
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, wrote four and a half centuries before Christ:
“pork is, among all meats, the one that gives the human body the most strength and is the most easily digested”
and
LARDO DI COLONNATA IGP
excellence in the heritage of Mediterranean cuisine
Apicius suggested in Roman times:
“grind pepper, cumin, savory, rue, parsley, sweet spices and bay berries. Mix with minced pork. Pound it all with Apicius' sauce, salt, plenty of lard and fennel seeds. Stuff into a long casing and hang to smoke”
excellence in the heritage of Mediterranean cuisine
Pliny the Elder, author of the greatest encyclopaedia of Roman times, once stated:
“no other animal provides more for the pleasure of the palate: pork offers almost fifty different flavours, while every other animal has just one”
