Ciccioli or Greppole (Pork Scratchings)

A surprising thing in cuisine, just like in life, is that sometimes the finest things come from what we refer to as "scraps". It is a well-known fact that nothing goes to waste in pork butchery, and so it was that in Medieval times, fat drippings were heated on a low flame and flavoured with spices, becoming a typical element of Emilia's gastronomy tradition.

Our pork scratchings (Ciccioli or Greppole) distinguish themselves due to their characteristic amber colour, crumbly consistency and above all, their intense aroma and unforgettable flavour. Rich in calories, pork scratchings are perfect for savouring on special occasions, perhaps served with some hot polenta.

Crumble onto some good focaccia to impress your guests, or use them to add flavour to soups and risottos. Open a bottle of wine and an impromptu tipple with friends will become a memorable occasion filled with flavour.
