CINTA PROGRAM
These hogs descent from a herd of heritage breed Cinta Senese hogs brought over from Tuscany and are the only herd of these hogs in the US. The project is a partnership between Herb Eckhouse (co-founder of La Quercia) and Ken Kehrli, a prominent heritage breed developer and producer in Northeast Iowa working to develop this special stock into a unique breed that will thrive in Iowa.
Our Cinta Salami has an unbelievably buttery flavor and creamy mouthfeel. Cinta Prosciutto has a deep red color, beautiful marbling and concentrated flavor.
