Figatelli-Figatellu (Fresh)

Handcrafted in Corsica

Figatelli are made using traditional Corsican methods, with each step contributing to their unique flavor:

1. Selection of meat and ingredients: Figatelli are made from pieces of pork, with a high proportion of liver, giving them a dark color. Spices, sometimes herbs such as thyme or laurel, are added to enhance the flavor.
2. Stuffing and drying: The seasoned meat is then stuffed into natural casings and air-dried for a few days to develop its first aromas.
3. Quick tasting: Unlike other Corsican cured meats, figatelli are best eaten fresh, to fully appreciate their intense flavor. They are mainly eaten in winter.
