Lardo is traditionally considered the "poor man's dish," but it can now be found at some of the most upscale restaurants in Europe. One of the oldest lardo producers in Colonnata, Italy, is Larderia Mafalda, making about 22,000 kilograms of lardo per year - all processed by hand in special Carrara marble. It's a family recipe that's been passed down for four generations.

One of the most beautiful video's you have made. A product almost nobody knows about, which such a complex history and way of preparation, it is a clear sign of a beautiful history of the Romans living there centuries ago.

@arenkai 2 ай бұрын

Marble in the kitchen is both pretty and practical. It's heat resistant so it doesn't deform when you put hot pans on it. And it doesn't break down like wood with time so it's always easy to clean and disinfect. It's also a way to keep the kitchen cooler in the mediterranean summers since marble has high heat conductivity. It's expensive at initial purchase, but a cheap investment overall to gain quality of life in the kitchen.

@@Turian_Hustle Clearly they are making a protected/exclusive product and therefore than make some good margins on it. Since 1930 that adds up. I reckon living next to the quarry means everyone locally will know someone who can get cheap marble offcuts for kitchen worktops.

My favorite way are entrees made with crackers or grilled bread, chestnut cream and a thin slice of lardo. Alternatively, can be served with a drop of honey and black pepper. It also pairs well with aged cheese and dried fruit.

In pratica tutti i paesi di Carrara possono fare il lardo di colonnata “codena,Bedizzano,bergiola,etc “ perché di colonatta non ha nulla che non hanno gli altri . Quindi finitela col lard ‘colonata . Me ah m’alev i me porchi , poi a li faz mazedar dal norcino , e pó il lard a mel faz da me con le me conchettá e al ven for un lard che vel sognat a codonata .
