Speck Alto Adige (Ladin language: cioce or ciociul; German: Südtiroler Speck[1][circular reference]) is a dry-cured, lightly smoked ham produced in South Tyrol, northern Italy. Parts of its production are regulated by the European Union under the protected geographical indication (PGI) status (see also: Tyrolean speck).
Unlike prosciutto, speck Alto Adige is smoked (prosciutto affumicato).[2]
(translated) Speck Alto Adige PGI is a deboned, trimmed, dry-cured ham [prosciutto crudo], dried and cured for at least 22 weeks, produced only by 29 producers certified by the Speck Alto Adige Protection Consortium.
