Made from a whole deboned pig that is cooked on a pit, rolled, and seasoned, porchetta is an Italian meat that was historically reserved for special occasions and Sunday meals as far back as the 15th century. Today porchetta is cooked on a spit for six to eight hours and spiced with garlic, rosemary, fennel, oregano, and black pepper. With a variety of textures like crispy skin, creamy fat, and roasted meat interior, porchetta is an Italian meat staple that tastes delicious on its own, as an upscale sandwich filling, or selection on a charcuterie board.
