Learn to produce your own handmade Italian cured meats using traditional methods and techniques.

This is a hands-on curing meats / charcuterie class with our expert who will guide you through the process in producing different types of classic Italian meats from start to finish, using methods and techniques that have been mastered and practiced by our ancestors for generations.

Learn the correct ways on how to prepare and process your own meats including Pancetta - cured pork belly, and Capocollo - cured pork neck meats. You will blend recipes and learn to finish and protect your meats successfully  for the all-important curing process.

You will get hands-on experience with all the specialist supplies and equipment that are needed to produce quality cured meats simply and efficiently.

At the end of this lesson you will leave with the meat you have made in the course, as well as the confidence and knowledge to successfully make your own cured meats at home full of flavour and succulence. If you wish you can request to leave your produce to mature safely with your instructor, who will contact you once ready for you to collect.

You will also be treated to a gourmet antipasto tasting of different cured meats and matching condiments that are prepared fresh for you at the end of the class.
