Once cooked it is excellent served hot with mashed potatoes, buttered spinaches or stewed lentils.

Zampone is prepared  with artisan care using only lean meat, rind and fat. After fine grinding, salt and spices are added to give it its characteristic flavour.

How to cook the Zampone: Put the Zampone in a pot and cover it completely with cold water. Bring it to the boil, lower the flame and cook it slowly for about 3 hours- 3 hours and half.
