What is Speck?

Speck is ham that is dry-cured and smoked after being rubbed with herbs such as juniper and bay. The smoking process, which takes place over a series of months, results in a mildly smoky taste. The six-month aging produces a mellow, delicate flavor. Speck has a firm, chewy texture and is usually sliced thinly and served as part of an antipasto course or as a component of salads or cooked dishes, often with vegetables such as asparagus.
