Did you know?
- Bresaola originates from the Valtellina region in northern Italy and has been traditionally cured for over 500 years.
- It’s made from top-quality lean beef, which is salted and air-dried for several months.
- Due to its low fat content, it’s often enjoyed in healthy diets focused on protein intake and weight management.
- Unlike many cured meats, bresaola contains no added nitrates when made traditionally.
Drawbacks ⚠️
Contains sodium due to the curing process, which can impact blood pressure if consumed in excess.
Because it’s a cured product, there is a slight risk of foodborne pathogens if not stored properly.
