Wafer thin and slices stuck together. Until a Hip op some years back, after which they said no skiing, we skied regularly in Livigno, Italy. Bresaola there was local produce. You could even buy a chunk of it and slice it yourself with a pocket knife and just bread on a mountain stop. Aaaah, memories . I do miss my skiing.

That said, a Livigno Deli owner once took the time to explain the curing process adding that when times were hard in the mountains it was not unknown to cure donkeys and horses. Urban myth? No way of telling. But he was good company nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
