porchetta

Porchetta is deboned pork, stuffed with aromatic herbs like rosemary, garlic and wild fennel, then slow-roasted. In Maremma, you'll often find it in village markets, cut into thick slices and served in a crusty panino. Forget the idea of a simple sandwich; it's a substantial, fatty and flavorful meal, perfect for a quick break between two explorations. It's a street specialty that connects you directly to popular and local cuisine, a marker of the region's culinary identity.
