Notes

Handling Tips:
  • When opening the vacuum-sealed bag or removing bresaola from the refrigerator, allow it to come to room temperature for about 15-30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will enhance the flavor and make it easier to slice thinly.
  • The thinner the slice, the better the texture and flavor will be.
  • Bresaola is much more convenient if bought whole, so an electric meat slicer is a good investment if you plan on consuming it often.
  • Once you have sliced the bresaola, consuming it within a few days is best to maintain peak flavor and freshness.
  • If you have any leftovers, return them to the refrigerator in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container.
