About Bressola

Bresaola is a traditional Italian cured meat originating from the Lombardy region. Made from lean cuts of beef, it undergoes a meticulous process of salting, spicing, and air-drying to achieve its tender texture and rich flavor. Low in fat and high in protein, bresaola is a popular choice for those seeking a nutrient-dense, lower-calorie option in charcuterie. It is a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron and zinc, and is often enjoyed thinly sliced with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon or paired with fresh arugula and Parmesan. While bresaola is relatively healthy, it’s worth noting that it contains sodium due to the curing process, so moderation is key. Its delicate, savory taste makes it a versatile ingredient in Mediterranean-inspired dishes and a favorite for those focusing on nutritious eating without compromising flavor.
