The art of cutting meets the tradition of hand ironing
This basket is the result of an extraordinary encounter: that between Mirko Giannella, an internationally renowned master cortador for his art of ham cutting, and the Da Re family, guardians of the tradition of hand-stretching Bibanesi since 1987. Two worlds, two stories of passion and absolute dedication, which come together in a unique gastronomic experience: the Cortador x i Bibanesi box.
Mirko is not just a ham cutter: he is an artist who transforms every slice into a masterpiece, respecting the grain of the meat, enhancing the noble fat, celebrating months of curing with a gesture that lasts a few seconds but requires years of study. His selection for this box is personal, meticulous and uncompromising on quality.
What you will find in your Cortador Box
Each box contains a selection that celebrates the meeting between Spain and Italy, between precision and authenticity:
- 80g of Jamón de Bellota 50% Ibérico – personally selected by Mirko Giannella, hand-cut using the cortador technique that enhances every nuance of flavour. Six months shelf life to enjoy it at your leisure, celebrating each slice as a small masterpiece. Born in the dehesa, the unique ecosystem where Iberian pigs live freely, this jamón takes its identity from the montanera, the period when they feed on acorns and natural pastures. The result is a noble product with a complex and harmonious flavour, with sweet and persistent notes that tell the story of the land, time and tradition.
80g of Madeo – 100% Pure Italian Black Pig – Italian excellence in black pork, sliced with the same mastery and care. A rare product that reflects an unwavering commitment to quality. Raised outdoors, in harmony with nature and with full respect for animal welfare, Italian Black Pigs feed on roots, herbs, olives, and locally sourced cereals, free from GMOs and antibiotics, following slow and natural rhythms. The result is a noble, authentic meat that captures the flavour of biodiversity — saved from extinction and transformed into excellence. A national, ethical, and sustainable supply chain that blends tradition, territory, and innovation to bring the purest essence of Made in Italy to the table.
Bibanesi “Gli Originali” with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (250g) – the original recipe that made the Da Re family famous. Made with extra virgin olive oil and a touch of sesame, hand-stretched one by one, they win over anyone who loves simplicity, authenticity, and tradition.
Bibanesi 100% Italian Durum Wheat (280g) – the version that celebrates local production and short supply chains. Only Italian remilled semolina, only authentic flavours, only that crunchy, rustic texture that comes from being hand-stretched.
Bibanesi Organic Kamut® Khorasan (250g) – innovation that respects tradition. Organic Kamut® adds sweeter, more delicate notes, perfect for those seeking a softer pairing with fine cured meats.
Whole Wheat Bibanesi (250g) – rich in fibre, they’re the choice for those who love bold flavours and rustic textures. Every grain can be tasted, every bite tells the story of wholemeal flour crafted with respect and care.
Olive Bibanesi (250g) – tasty and irresistible, they combine the crunchiness of bread with the Mediterranean character of olives.
Rosemary Bibanesi (250g) – delicate and fragrant, they bring the fresh, aromatic essence of rosemary to the table.
