La Quercia Berkshire Lomo Americano
One of the most technically challenging and rare craft charcuterie items, Lomo showcases La Quercia's mastery of the ancient art of dry curing. Unlike prosciutto, which uses a moderate moist drying process, Lomo develops its distinctive flavor and texture through a cold, dry curing method that demands precision and patience.
Handcrafted from the highest quality Heritage Berkshire pork loin, this exceptional cut balances the lean, tender loin with a subtle creamy back fat cap. La Quercia carefully hand-pulls each loin to preserve more of this prized fat cap, using the full loin for their meticulous curing and aging process.
The result is a meat-forward profile with natural sweetness from the fat—a unique charcuterie experience that stands apart from any other cured meat. Sourced from Heritage Berkshire pigs raised on crate-free farms, fed a vegetarian diet, and never given antibiotics, every slice reflects La Quercia's unwavering commitment to quality and animal welfare.
