WALLISER WAGYU
The pig
A pig used to produce Molinari Sempione products must meet specific requirements. It must come from inspected Swiss farms, belong to a specific breed, and must not have eaten for 15 hours before slaughter. Maturation, Aging, and Quality Guarantee
In the seventh month, the ham enters a crucial phase. During this time, the aging room is less ventilated and darkened. Essential biochemical and enzymatic processes take place here, ultimately determining the taste, aroma, and digestibility of the Molinari Sempione ham. Weight loss during this phase is a further five percent. Now, at least twelve months have passed. The ham is tested for maturity, aroma, and quality.
If the Molinari Sempione hams pass these tests, they are expertly butchered and immediately portioned to preserve their flavor and quality. ... The designation Molinari Sempione is exclusively reserved for ham, dried meat, homemade sausage, salami, coppa, and pancetta. Products bearing this designation guarantee a high-quality, natural product.
