The corned beef tongue represents another typical feature of Trentino cuisine. One of those dishes that can stand the test of time. Capable of going from being a "poor" dish to a more everyday use. Even in the most refined restaurants and kitchens. Also because this corned beef tongue boiled in a pressure cooker and then served on the table lends itself to being prepared in different ways.

As a single dish or as an accompaniment to other dishes. Also because on its side it has all the tradition and freshness of a production still tied to its origins. As the tongue is placed in brine and turned daily so as to absorb all the natural aromas. From garlic to rosemary, from white pepper to bay leaves, to salt and coriander. A treatment of this kind lasts about 45 days, then the tongues are collected and dried, so as to be vacuum packed afterwards. And being ready to be cooked.

Usually the corned beef tongue is cooked in a pressure cooker for about an hour and a half before serving. Either as a single dish, together with creams or side dishes, from mustard to mayonnaise to potatoes. In the Trentino tradition, the corned beef tongue becomes a perfect dish if accompanied with mashed potatoes.
