Ventricina

Ventricina is a gourmet food product from Abruzzo Italy.

Ventricina includes sausages which vary in terms of their shape, consistency and flavor, and are one of the most traditional creations of Abruzzo cuisine. Fine grained and mildly spicy, the Ventricina of Teramo or Crognaleto is characterized by a mixture of finely ground pork parts, which cannot be used otherwise, mixed with pieces of prosciutto and richly spiced. Other ingredients include salt, white and black pepper, sweet hot pepper and spicy hot pepper, garlic, paste made from peppers, fennel seeds, rosemary, orange peels . The soft mixture is then encased in the pig stomach which preserves it longer and gives it an excellent flavor. The rich flavors hidden in this are comparable to the aromatic herbs of the Abruzzo mountains. These flavors are brought out even more if spread on bruschetta, so that the heat of the toasted bread melts the fat. The sausages are encased in intestines of various sizes or placed in glass- jars. The product is left in cold storage for two days. It should be consumed within 4 months.
