South Tyrolean Speck is incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with a variety of flavors. Perfect for a rustic snack or an elegant aperitif – here are my favorite pairings:
Wine and Speck: A Perfect Match
The traditional partner for South Tyrolean Speck is a South Tyrolean Vernatsch – a light, fruity red wine that highlights the speck's spicy notes without overpowering them. For white wine lovers, a Gewürztraminer or a mineral Sauvignon Blanc works beautifully too. Learn more about the uniqueness of the product in What is South Tyrolean Speck?.
Which Cheeses Pair Best?
Strong, aged cheeses complement speck wonderfully. My favorites include a robust mountain cheese from South Tyrol or a bold alpine cheese. Fresh goat cheese can also create an exciting contrast.
Bread – The Classic Companion
Crunchy Schüttelbrot (rye crispbread) is the classic pairing. For a softer bite, a fresh roll or rustic farmhouse bread works perfectly.
Adding Fruit
For those who love sweet contrasts: figs, apples, or pears pair beautifully with speck. Especially delicious: slices of ripe pear wrapped in speck – a true South Tyrolean delicacy! Find out more about its nutritional side in How healthy is South Tyrolean Speck?.
