About Bresaola

Bresaola is a traditional Italian cured meat, originating from the Lombardy region. Made from lean cuts of beef, it is seasoned with a blend of spices, salt, and herbs before being air-dried for several months. Rich in protein and low in fat, bresaola is a nutritious option for those mindful of their diet, offering vitamins such as B12 and essential minerals like zinc and iron. Its low-calorie content makes it a popular choice in Mediterranean cuisine, commonly served thinly sliced alongside arugula, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon. However, as with most cured meats, bresaola contains sodium, which may not suit diets requiring low salt intake. Despite this, its simplicity and high-protein profile make it a flavorful and health-conscious addition to salads, antipasti, or light meals.
