Bresaola is a type of air-dried, lightly salted Italian cured beef that has been aged for several months. The curing process, in a dry curing chamber, produces a dark red meat that is almost purple in color and the drying process creates a unique flavor. It is packed in a vacuum bag. Made from the top round near the leg of the cow, this meat from the Lombardy region is lean and tender with a sweet, mild flavor.
How to Eat Bresaola
Because of its delicate flavor and tender texture, beef bresaola is often enjoyed as part of an antipasto platter. To enhance the taste, drizzle with a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper, and other salt and spices. Serve with crusty bread for a simple yet satisfying bite. For a healthy Italian salad, toss together Bresaola, spicy arugula, and lemon juice. To finish, garnish with black pepper and a generous amount of thin Pecorino Romano shavings.
