I am definitely going to try and make this. Early in my cooking career we had a dish with fried polenta sticks that we would put a slice of lardo on fresh out of the frier and it would melt on top. Changed my life forever, so delicious.
I’ll be removing my copy of your recipe from the fridge tomorrow and so today I came back to review your video. I’m very grateful to all of your supporters for sharing their traditional or preferred ways of enjoying Lardo. Thanks guys. The idea of sharing portions of it with a sprig of rosemary as a gift is fantastic, however cured meats of this nature are unfamiliar to my friends here in New Zealand 🇳🇿. I’m an outcast due to my culinary preferences. I raised the hog, I dressed and butchered the hog and because of my efforts I’m quite happy to enjoy it myself, selfishly 😋
3 months = "SPECTACULAR"?!??? Count me in!!! I'm definitely am willing to wait that long to make this very expensive "lardo". Love your videos my friend! Keep 'em comin' :-)
Mr Cioccolato.....you are the best!.....not theatricals.....just plain good cooking.....as one famous Spanish (Arguinano)cook puts it....Con fundamento!!
Thank you for this video. I recently bought half a hog that was a Berkshire/Red Wattle cross. I wanted to make some lardo out of some of the lovely backfat. Your video is a very easy process and tomorrow I'll get started. The remainder of the backfat will be used to make some Polska Kielbasa with a combination of American Elk, and Pork. My co-worker got lucky this hunting season and filled two Elk tags. We'll split the sausage between us. Cheers!
In the deep South USA, we have salt pork which is essentially Lardo without the herbs/spices. It is thick sliced skin on and fried till crispy or added to soups, beans, veggies, etc. By the way, I am white English, Irish, German, Italian! Over the past 150 years in the USA, cultures mixed and so did cuisines. Everyone mixed and shared for survival. Pink salt (salt peter) was used only in commercial productions, not at home. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
In my country there is similar thing but with less ingredients and the loard is all coverd with sea sallt.The best way to eat it when is grilled on BBQ on a stick with onion and pepper chunks.Will try your way for sure.Great channel !
Здрасти и аз ще пробвам тази рецепта най ми е удобно това съхранение на сланинката иначе татко ми разказа други начини Ти пробва ли я вече кажи ми как е станали вкусно 🤗😬

Today i did my first one of these i used a little different ingredients , Day one today the 21 of August 2021 . As a chef i will variate this alittle but you are my inspiration .
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Like i said it will be a little different . You have shown me the methods to not use Nitrates and only salt which i like . For 1000's of years the Italians Greeks and other races across the planet only used salt and vinegar, drying to preserve food . The idea of putting nitrates in my food goes against every thing i have learnt as a chef . I will be combining this and the pancetta style then smoking the pork belly under a cold smoke. I do not have Instagram but i will certainly send you a you tube link of the fished product if you like .You have given me the knowledge and confidence to do it with out using nitrates . I hope this explains what i will be doing .
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Mate i didnt have time to take a video while making it my car was stolen and had to deal with police is all good now i have the car . It is now in the fridge firming up to be sliced . My wife said wow thats smells like real Bacon .....
Hi thanks for the video! I discovered it because google probably heard me speaking about lardo di colonnata and the same day I found it among my suggestions on TH-cam ahah. I have two questions. 1) Does the fat back need to have the skin? Because I think I'll have problems in finding it with it where I am. 2) Do you age it in water and salt because you keep it in the fridge, or does this recipe require that even with the ageing in a temperature/humidity controlled environment?
Your recipies arę spectacular. I try to do a lot of your video's. Soppresatta its the best but rest is spectacular too. I find only three channels with good Cure meets.
Super super cool recipe and video - thanks very much One question: do you use iodised or non-iodised salt for curing the meat? Pls let us know or simply just mention in one of the future videos. Big regards from Serbia and Peru Marko and Daniela
Is it normal for lardo to have a bit of crunchy texture? Similar to raw squid. I made some using a different recipe, I'm not sure if it's the pork fat or if I dried it too much that gives it the crunchy texture.
Just made it, added it to my fridge. Question is, can it be ready faster let’s say in a month or two? Btw I keep coming back to your cured meat recipes, you’re the best.👍
I am going to try your Lardo recipe using pork belly. I have some that has almost no meat, just fat. One question: do you leave the pork skin on? Or remove it? Thank you so much! Three months will pass so slowly!
We eat a lot of it in Poland. We call it słonina. Traditionaly served with vodka haha. But we don't use water when making it, we just cure it in a lot of salt and garlic and sometimes smoke
@@milosmallgoods5305 I've never heard of but it kinda make sense. I've seen salted lemons so somebody somewhere could've thought "Hey, what if I try to preserve that lamb fat with salt?"

here in Romania we smoke it with cold smoke after the it is dried from the brine
👍🏼 thanks for the information

No 😭
That looks excellent! What are you doing in Thailand?
I run away from winter every year 😎 I am going back in July 😉 for summer season

Better to wait the 3 months
Thanks for your support 🤩
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Thank you, I will, it’s worth the wait.

spektakular!
Bravo 👍🏼
I see that you keep the skin on all your cured meats. Is this a requirement or I can do it without? Thank you for all the recipes!
Better with the skin 😉
would you be able to do the cure in a vacuum bag?
I never tried usually they store in a vacuum but they make like I show in the video 😉
Quality Content .,
Thanks 👍🏼
Tasted lardo colonata in castillion fiorentino from my ex father in law it was perfect.
Spectacular 🥳
Did you say you were in Thailand?
Yes 👍🏼
I am going to try your Lardo recipe using pork belly. I have some that has almost no meat, just fat. One question: do you leave the pork skin on? Or remove it? Thank you so much! Three months will pass so slowly!
For this recipe you should remove it
Keep us updated 😉
I just opened the box with the lardo after three months,...., a success!, but how do I preserve it? in the air, in the fridge?
Spectacular 👍🏼 you can store in the fridge in a container. If it’s big you can cut in 2 and 1 part you can vacuum it 😉
Pls make video on how to make PASTRAMI! :)
We eat a lot of it in Poland. We call it słonina. Traditionaly served with vodka haha. But we don't use water when making it, we just cure it in a lot of salt and garlic and sometimes smoke
Ha ha, we call it slanina.
same in romania.. sunca/slana/slanina, smoked and eat with cheese and red onion
All this wonderful traditional methods all sound super...sorry spectacular.
Did you say that you live inn Thailand
Yes 👍🏼
so you're putting it in the freezer?
Fridge to cure it.
After it has been cured you can store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
I was wondering the same tnx Drosophila😻
Can I made it from lamb meat (fats)
I've never heard but you can always try. Maybe you will get into history forever as a person who invented salted lamb fat.
@@toomaskotkas4467 I well do
And you well be the person who encourage me
I wouldn't. Lamb is not fat enough.
@@toomaskotkas4467 salted lamb fat very popular in the middle east people have been doing it for thousands of years
@@milosmallgoods5305 I've never heard of but it kinda make sense. I've seen salted lemons so somebody somewhere could've thought "Hey, what if I try to preserve that lamb fat with salt?"
Have you ever made tomato wine? 🍅
😱 no I think is illegal 😂😉
In Italy 🤪
cuoredicioccolato Why is it illegal?
Lardo non viene troppo salato dopo 3 mesi in tutto quello sale?
Si ma il giusto
Would you please confirm 350 grams salt for 1000 grams of back fat?
33% salt?
👍🏼
My suggestion: Armenian/turkish basturma/pastirma. Also polish salamis are nice, although i dont know a specific type of polish sausage.
Krakowska with a juniper is the best

can't help thinking that would be better without the brine,
this looks simple to make... the problem is i do not like it so fatty :) !!!
The 3 months in that very salty brine completely changes the taste and the texture.

Problem with cured meat is it takes too long. 3 months for good Lardo? Far too long to wait for.
