Redazione

A hearty main course from the peasant tradition, celebrated for its extraordinary melt-in-the-mouth tenderness. The pork cheek is left to marinate for a long time and then slowly braised for hours in Barbera d'Asti wine with aromatic herbs and spices. The meat completely gives way, becoming incredibly tender, almost buttery, and entirely coated in a dark, thick, pleasantly tangy cooking sauce. It is served hot with roast potatoes.
