Dolce Lucano is a delightful surprise. Prior to visiting, I thought I was going to a meat shop...
Dolce Lucano does carries meat but special kind of meat: Salumi, which are Italian cured meat products and predominantly made from pork, that is cured in salt and not encased before aging.
Here in Dolce Lucano all their Salumi are prepared in house: Prosciutto, Sopressata, Caccciatore, Capicollo, Pancetta and more. Aside from pork products, there are also cacciatore that made from wild boar.
My advice is to talk to the friendly staff here which is so knowledgeable with all the products. We ended up picking up a piece of Gunaciale (jowl of the hog) which is good for cooking. I also want to try one of their house cured prosciutto but I guess I would have to come back another time to pick some up!
Now I can start dreaming about a charcuterie plate, a glass of wine and pretend I am in Italian under the warm sunshine......... or maybe even some Culatello!!
