After the initial processing, carried out entirely by hand, where it is boned and seasoned with salt and spices, the two overlapping layers are slowly steam-cooked and lightly smoked with only beech wood chips. Its particular shape is characterized by the light pink of the meat, the white of the fatty part and the unmistakable mellow flavour typical of this Venetian recipe.
