Sliced thin, this salami shows a deep red, finely marbled cut that brings the taste of inland Istria to a simple board of bread and cheese.

It is made from the boškarin, the grey, long-horned Istrian ox that once pulled ploughs across the peninsula. By the 1990s only around a hundred animals were left, and AZRRI, the Istrian rural development agency in Pazin, has led the work that brought the breed back. For this salami the meat is soaked in Istrian Malvazija and slowly matured in small batches.

The wine gives the meat floral, mineral notes, and the result is salty and subtly complex.

Serve it with aged cheese, a drizzle of good olive oil and a glass of Malvazija.

AZRRI (Agencija za ruralni razvoj Istre) is the rural development agency of Istria County, based in Pazin and founded by the county in 2003. Together with the Istrian cattle breeders' association it has led the protection of the boškarin, the grey, long-horned Istrian ox, whose numbers fell to about 100 animals in the 1990s and have since recovered to more than 2,000. The agency also works with Istrian goats, sheep and donkeys, and makes small series of gourmet boškarin salami from meat matured in a controlled environment.
