​

10:30 Technical Visit and Taste Morning visit to the horsemeat processing plant “Coppiello Giovanni”

In the local plant of Montagnana, equipped with the latest employee and food safety technology, the production process of the raw ham/prosciutto is still traditionally artisan.

Every stage of the leg processing – from salting to seasoning – takes place on site, benefitting from the unique microclimate of Montagnana, characterized by alternating dry and wet periods. The leg is processed only by adding very little sea salt, without preservatives and flavourings and it naturally develops the white patina visible on the surface. This precious meat protein is tasteless and does not change the organoleptic qualities of the product.

The visit is followed by a prosciutto (raw ham) tasting.
