What is "slinzega"

Slinzega is a type of air-dried meat produced in Valtellina, in the Italian Alps. It is made in a similar manner to Bresaola, with smaller pieces of meat, which therefore bear a stronger taste. According to some sources it originally used horse meat rather than beef. Nevertheless, today virtually any type of meat is suitable to its production, the most common being beef, deer and pork.
