Lardo d'Arnad DOP is a traditional cured pork specialty from the Aosta Valley made from the pig’s back fat and slowly aged in special wooden containers called "doils". During maturation it is covered with salt, water, mountain herbs, and spices such as garlic, rosemary, bay leaves, and pepper. The result is a white lardo with light pink veins, a soft texture, and an intense yet delicate aroma. It is traditionally sliced paper-thin and served on warm rye bread or dark rustic bread.
