Parco Naturale Regionale del Beigua

This fresh delicacy derives from the processing of pig lard, which is cut into pieces and minced, then salted and flavoured with local herbs. The paté is enjoyed spread on warm slices of bread. In Sassello, the pâté is sold as a spreadable paste in jars. It can be stored for up to a month but if it is consumed within two or three days following its preparation, it emanates all the perfumes and aromas of the wild herbs used.
