Speck is a cured ham that has a mild and delicate flavor. It is better-balanced in taste than hams from Northern Europe which are aged for a shorter period of time. However, it has a more distinctive flavor than Mediterrenean Prosciuttos. Speck is therefore the perfect aromatic link between the North and South of Europe. Alto Adige PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) Speck is a cured ham that is aged for at least 22 weeks. The European Union awards Speck with PGI status. Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) is one of two designations introduced by the European Commission in 1993, to protect the integrity and reputation of agricultural products or foodstuffs having an identified geographical origin.
