How many times have you searched for that one product that makes your guests pause — the one that makes them think: “This place is different.”
It’s not about putting more meat on the plate. It’s about choosing the right product: one that tells a story, brings a region to the table, and stays in the memory.
Culatta Stagionata (also known as Culatello con Cotenna or Culaccia) is that product.
From the mists of the Bassa Parmense — a cured meat without equal
In the plain between Parma and Piacenza, where winter fog wraps around the cellars and the humid air of the Po does the work of time, one of Italy’s most exclusive cured meats is born.
Culatello con Cotenna is not a variation of prosciutto. It is something rarer. Taken from the rear leg of the pig, it is hand-larded — one side covered by the natural rind, the other by lard — and then aged in natural cellars for 12 to 18 months. No artificial casing. No shortcuts.
The result? Sliced thin, it reveals an intense aroma of spices and aged meat, a full and lingering taste — at once sweet and savory. Slice it tableside, and let the silence speak for itself.
Your menu deserves a centerpiece
Picture a charcuterie board where every element tells a different story of Italy. Culatta Stagionata brings the Po Valley, the damp cellars, the artisan tradition. Serve it with warm torta fritta and mountain butter: you’ve created an experience, not just a course.
Build a board of Western Emilia cured meats — a sensory journey that justifies a premium price point and that your guests will talk about. Few do it. Because few can source it.
