The Porchetta Masters

According to popular tradition, the porchetta di Campli has very ancient origins. It is said that the ancient population of the Pretuzi roasted whole pigs which were served during their banquets.


At that time it is possible to trace the job of the master porchetta maker. The municipal statutes of Campli of 1575 regulated its sales activity. This laborious craft tells of skilled craftsmen who debon the meat and then season it with spices and salt. Each teacher has his own secret; some say that cooked wine was used, after tying the porchetta, to disinfect and seal the pores of the meat. That of the porchetta master is an art that is handed down from father to son in order to create a delicious product that cheers and unites.
