A dish that encapsulates all the flavours of Veronese tradition: pork belly, Monte Veronese DOP cheese, savoy cabbage and red wine.
Chef Giacomo Sacchetto recalls when his grandparents - like most peasant families in the area - used to serve pork belly with the local Savoy cabbage and the new wine that would arrive exactly around the time when it was customary to slaughter pigs.
This is a traditional Veronese recipe, where bacon is served in a totally unusual way. Chef Sacchetto has combined it with Monte Veronese DOP from the Monti Lessini, a cheese widely present in traditional Veneto cuisine, and a wintry ingredient such as Verza Moretta from Veronella.
