About Bresola
Bresaola is a type of air-dried, salted beef that originates from the Lombardy region in northern Italy, traditionally made from lean cuts like top round. It is aged for several months, developing a rich, deep flavor and tender texture. This cured meat is typically served thinly sliced and is recognized for its ruby-red color and subtle aromatic seasoning. Nutritionally, bresaola is a low-fat protein option, making it a healthier alternative to fattier cured meats like salami. It is rich in essential nutrients including iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support muscle function and energy production. However, as with most cured meats, it can be high in sodium, so moderation is advised. Frequently featured in antipasti platters, salads, or wrapped around vegetables, bresaola is a versatile and flavorful addition to both traditional Italian dishes and modern cuisine.
