Producer and format
Polo SpA supplies this professional foodservice charcuterie product. Keep the sales unit and storage conditions shown on the label.
Product profile
The compact pressed structure gives clean slices and a savoury pork profile suited to cold service. Its rustic character works well with bread, pickled vegetables, mild cheeses and the other components of a traditional antipasto presentation.
Professional uses and quantities
For a mixed antipasto, start with about 60 to 80 g per guest and adjust to the rest of the menu. Slice shortly before service, arrange the pieces with some space on the platter and use the product in sandwiches, cold counters or composed starters according to the kitchen offer.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not slice the product too far in advance, serve it directly from an excessively cold storage temperature or compress the slices on the platter. Use a sharp knife, keep the portions tidy and balance the seasoning with the accompaniments rather than masking the charcuterie.
Storage and handling
Keep the product under the storage conditions shown on the label and protect it from temperature fluctuations. Work with clean utensils, close the pack carefully after opening and return the unused quantity promptly to refrigeration. Follow the stated use-by date and do not refreeze after thawing.
