About Mocetta

Mocetta is a traditional dried meat originating from the Aosta Valley in Italy, typically made from goat, though variations using beef or lamb exist. This delicacy is created by marinating the meat with a blend of spices like garlic, juniper berries, and bay leaves, followed by curing and air-drying for several weeks. Mocetta is celebrated for its rich, savory flavor and lean protein content, making it a favored choice in Alpine cuisine. Its artisanal preparation results in a product low in fat compared to other cured meats, yet it can contain high sodium levels due to the curing process. As a source of essential amino acids and minerals like iron, Mocetta can be a nutritious addition to a balanced diet when consumed in moderation. Often enjoyed thinly sliced as part of an antipasto platter or paired with rustic breads, Mocetta embodies the authentic flavors of mountainous northern Italy.
