tony b Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) We're lucky here in Iowa, as we have one of the top Salumeria in the country - La Quercia. Made me hungry for a snack. Fortunately, I have some La Quercia Borsellino in the fridge! Edited April 3, 2017 by tony b 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garvin It didn't come across as well in this video as it did when Andrew Zimmern visited there on his show, but they actually have 4 different temperature/humidity controlled rooms to simulate the environment in Tuscany for each of the 4 seasons! The racks of hams get moved from room to room over the course of the year. That's dedication to a craft, even if you're using high tech methods to do it. Best quote from the Zimmern show - he asked them why Iowa to start this business, when neither of them are from here? Their answer - this is where the tastiest pigs are! You got that right! Here's a picture of Carl from Rustic Rooster Farms, that raise only heritage breeds, showing off a mulefoot whole hog roast (they did 4 different breeds of pigs that day - hog heaven, indeed!)
