Testa in Cassetta (Head in a Box) is a typical Sardinian food product made from parts of the pig's head. It's a soft, intensely flavored sausage, perfect for an aperitif or appetizer. The process involves boiling the meat in salted water, then seasoning it with salt, pepper, and spices to give it its distinctive flavor. The mixture is then stuffed into casings and left to cool before being enjoyed. Among Sardinian cured meats, it's sometimes overlooked, but is loved once tasted.

  • Description

    the "headcheese" is a particular manufacturing of pig meat typical of Sardinia which represented a fundamental food of poor cooking.

    Certifications

    The Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies has inserted the headcheese in the list of Traditional Agri-Food Products from the region of Sardinia (PAT).

    Origins

    In the past having a pig was a guarantee of safe and abundant food and every part of the animal was used, even the head.

    Thus was born the head in box, a sausage which exploits the less noble parts of the pig, but no less nutritious and tasty (head, offal).
