Porchetta

[porˈketta]

 

A savory and moist boneless pork roast of Italian culinary tradition.

Porchetta is an iconic product of both central Italy and the Veneto region in the north.

Across the country, it is typically served hot as a “panino”, or sandwich, and sold by street vendors or “pitchmen”, especially during public events or holidays.

It can also be served as a filling for pizza bianca (“white pizza”), eaten as an entree or sliced as a cold cut for picnic-style sandwiches.

Porchetta is generally seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary and herbs that vary by region or family recipe, and slow roasted on a rotisserie spit or in an oven.

Porchetta has been selected by the Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies as a “traditional agricultural-food product”,

one of a list of traditional Italian foods held to have significant cultural relevance.
