This combustion process, practiced and refined since Ancient Roman times, lends it a naturally intense, smoky flavor, without actually cooking it. Added spices, such as nutmeg, coriander, caraway and allspice enhance this generously dense meat, making it extra flavorsome. Traditionally paired with a fresh, lively Poulsard.
