Nonna's Pantry presents Salcis Polpa di Spalle, cured lean pork shoulder, made by artisans in the rolling hills around Siena, Tuscany.
Back in 1941, as a result of the war, Siena’s pork butchers decided to join forces to process the meat independently, thus giving rise to Salcis, an acronym of Società Anonima Lavorazione Carni Insaccati Siena. In 1960, Salcis also began making sheep’s milk products, and in 2000, the premises comprising the pork butchery and dairy moved to the foot of the splendid Monteriggioni Castle, where it still stands today.
