The boneless loin of the Cinta Senese pig is subjected to the same salting process as the ham, i.e. Tuscan garlic, wine vinegar, salt and pepper. After about 15 to 20 days, it is 'rolled' in fennel flower and wrapped in classic yellow paper to preserve all the aromas and flavours of the spice nicknamed the yellow gold. The use of fennel for flavouring is a prerogative of the Val d'Orcia and Val di Chiana.
