Pork cracklings, which in Mantova are also called Greppole, originated as a peasant food, high in calories, that was often served with polenta. Today, instead, it has become a fashionable snack to consume during an aperitif or to enhance focaccias or less flavorful dishes. What are pork cracklings? Cracklings come from pork meat and specifically from the fat of the pig. They are produced by separating the rind from the fat and cutting the latter into cubes. Cooking then proceeds slowly over low heat. The water from the tissue is removed and the fats are melted. The remaining solid is then squeezed by hand with a cloth, and the cracklings are salted and flavored. Then the pressing takes place to drain all the fat. This results in these crunchy and very flavorful meat cracklings. The Pedrazzoli cracklings, complete supply chain. Pedrazzoli is one of the few medium-sized family-run salumeries still operating with a complete supply chain: from cereals and other products for livestock feed to the processing of the final product. Even today, it represents one of the most significant names in Italian cured meat production. Pioneers of organic, they were the first in 1996 to offer an organic line that they called Primavera.
