How Italy's Best Porchetta is Made 

My Grandma used to say "You know porchetta is good, when the neighbors can hear you eat it"

This is why you travel. Fuck the sights, its about the food baby.

I come back to this video every six months to remind myself what excellence looks like.

My mother used to make that. Never once have I eaten it anywhere else, made by anyone else, and had it taste as the one my mother used to make. I don't think I ever will. It is one of those sensory memories I shall never relive. Miss you mamma!

I was always lead to believe that fine food was a combination of taste, smell, texture, and presentation. Nobody ever told me about the "sound" of food, but when I heard the sound of his cutting the porchetta, it instantly set my mouth to watering. I agree with Fitzy Holden, it seems amazing. Anyone lucky enough to actually eat is product is lucky indeed. THANK YOU for posting!

I was thinking of becoming a vegetarian, but this video has shown me the light.

Oh my god. I remember as an architecture student taking a tour with my classmates in Gubbio, Italy. Our Italian professor exclaimed urgently "Stop the bus!" and he ran off the bus to sprint down the street. We were confused and concerned. He returned with a delicious looking and smelling sandwich and said contentedly "Porchetta" and the bus drove on. We were quite jealous. Watching this, I am jealous yet again dammit.

That crackling is fucking insane.

This guy is a true traditionalist he uses locally grown ingredients and carries on the legacy

I swear to god I wanted to cry when I heard the crackling of the crispy pork skin being cut with the knife. This video is beautiful.

the guy at the end just found the meaning of life

I don't know why this was on my recommendations, but it was definitely worth watching.

I went to his place last year, it's as amazing as you think it is. He has a bunch of other great products in his store btw, and right in front of him there's a lovely little bakery. Worth the trip to Marino

There is no way that the crackling can come out so good without a secret technical process. He is only giving 30% of the process. The best crackling I've ever seen on a roast.

Anyone can make this at home, if you just follow the steps. First step: Kidnap an old Italian butcher.

That crackling and that sandwich...I'm dehydrated from drooling and crying because I want it so bad lol!

Anyone else drool when they saw the crackle being peeled off?

one of the most beautiful things to see on RU-vid

I watched this like 5 times, I’m a chef and watching him go to work is therapeutic.

I love this video. Everything looks so amazing and delicious. And then the last ten seconds is the video creator taking a bite of the sandwich with no expression and a fade away. Incredible

thats literally the best looking cracklin i have ever seen

At 23 I'm finally realizing that their are other forms of art than just painting.

I just got back from Roma and I’ve never tasted anything like porchetta in America. It’s truly amazing.

Everyone think that Italian cuisine is about sophisticated recipes. Not at all, it's all about the quality of the ingredients.

Holy smoke have to give my respect to the whole thing. My wife were in Italy a couple years ago for 5 weeks traveling by car. My wife and I can't wait to get back and concentrate on a few spots now. This one - we'll visit for sure. Loved the video. He makes this look so simple. I love the way he butchers and preps! I like that it shows the whole cut from start to finish. Deboning nad prepping to add the rib meat and allowing space for the wrap. Also the method for piercing rather than cross hatching. Sewing everything closed even the ends then tying. I'm going to do this this summer. So wasn't meaning any disrespect for the time talent and history of the whole aspect if this family business and the chef. Loved the video and loved the guy making the porchetta - reminds me of my family and in-laws. This place will be a destination next trip for sure.

Another Quality product from a Quality people. No , I am not Italian I just know good product made by good people when I see it. Thank you.

I love this video. It's so calm and relaxing to watch him prepare and cook the porchetta. As he cuts into the finished meat and hearing that crust break my neckhair stands up :D

Once a year or so, I come back to watch this

Dunno how many times I've watched this but boy it never gets old.

I'm gonna cry now.

That is by far the most amazing crackling I have ever seen.

ok what he said about the chili pepper "l essenziale" he said it meaning he puts the bare minimum. not that it is essential to put it.

From watching a GT 730 benchmark, to this? I'm not disappointed.

Wow, this is the best I’ve ever seen. That sandwich, no sauce, no mayonnaise rubbish etc. Just meat and bread, that’s how I like it. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻

you've got to admit though, the Italians know their shit.

3 years after watching this, I am finally going today!!!

italians know quality

I’m eating this next month while on my honeymoon. Been watching this video for years. You better believe someone is gonna have to wheel me out of this place by the time I’m done.

Well done no stupid music or annoying hosts. Thank you

I found a little error in the translation 3.00, when he talks about the pepper, it is not "essential" but in his dialect all he wants to say is that it only needs to put few pepper, not too much. :) great video!

wait, wait wait wait wait, wait a second, how is that skin so puff and crispy? that's like the best skin i ever seen in my life, it's almost unreal

I am seriously thinking of going to Rome just for this.

There's nothing better than a fine product made with patience and love

Only watched this at least 12 times. So good.

That's it. The hell with California, I'm moving to Italy.

Oh my god. I'm speechless and salivating.

Followed this recipe to the letter, even sourcing fennel pollen. Only difference is pig was slaughtered at younger age, hence smaller. Was a middle white breed so had lots of fat. Was outstanding. Cooked for 30 minutes at 200 fan oven then 4.5 hours at 160.

Give Italians rubber flip flops and they will make it look delicious! Amazing

I cried so hard watching this video. That looks so amazing and authentic I must travel to Italy and try it. That is so beautiful, thank you so much for sharing it.

I have watched this video I’d say 100 times, it’s the best porchetta I’ve ever seen. I can only imagine the taste and one day I will

Holy Christ! I feel sorry for all animals, but this pig died for a higher cause!

A melhor Porchetta que eu já vi na vida !!!

I might have to go to Italy now......

Complimenti, bellissimo video , non avevo mai visto preparare una porchetta e non l ho mai assaggiata. In questo momento sino in Messico dove vivo e ho appena cenato, Pero all improvviso MI SONO DETTO, to odio al tipo al finale, con quel stupendo pezzo Si pane croccante e fresco tra le sue mani, Il suo sguardo di soddisfazione divorando quella pagnotta, mi e venuta l acquolina in bocca. Che fame, che voglia di accompagnarlo , che belle tradizioni Si conservano in Italia, e che continuino e non Si perdano mai. Grazie per Il video dovessi mai fare una porchetta un giorno mi ricordero dir voi e dello sguardo del giovane al finale. Grazie nuovamente e saluti al fortunato divoratore .Saluti dal Messico qui da 30 anni

This is the best one I've seen so far... I love how its fully seasoned

Io l’ho assaggiata e posso dire con certezza che non esiste porchetta migliore in tutto il mondo

That guy at the end experienced pork enlightenment.

Wow, these types of craftsman are a dying breed here in the states. You can see the love he puts in his product. Buying a plane ticket just to eat this would be well worth the cost.

No matter the product, its always a pleasure to watch a craftsman work

Very respectable thing is that this guy does not hide any "special spices" or stuff he puts in his Porchetta; its all just "get good pricey ingredients and you will have a good produce"

I am roman living in Rome, sometimes i wake up and crave this legendary man's Porchetta and just trip to him to get him. Every bite i thank Jupiter to be born this close to him ❤️👌

Italian food is the best

Italy,the birthplace of aesthetics

Total passion for his craft and food in general.....love it!

I’ll stand by this being the best video on the internet

I could eat that entire loaf.

You got the same look I did when I was a little kid having this magnificent dish for the first time in my life when I lived Tuscany.

beautiful language and looks very good

I’ve watched this so many times that I can now speak Italian fluently.

anyone else is satisfied by the sound and the sharpen of the knife cutting thru the meat?

0:27 for the classic punch sound effect.

I was born and raised in a town 30 km from there. Porchetta is legendary. We often go there to eat and drink. Even the bread they use for the sandwiches is unbelievable.

I just had a Spam sandwich and it was fucking delicious.

Just ate this in Rome… just wow

The guy in the end is all people will remember.

I love living here in ITALY

the dude at the end of the video just had a blank face

Wonderful! I love to see, and learn, about the old traditional ways of producing good hearty food that taste great and has no E-numbers and other nasty chemicals in them.

My god. That crackling and meat quality. Definitely will be going there post quarantine.

The crackling looks amazing!!!

add one reason that I have to go Italy.

When it comes to food Italians aren't playing games

Shit me sideways, that is an absolute work of art. Looks incredible.

my great grandmother was from Sarno, Italy. I hope to visit Italy next year for that home cooked meals I don’t get anymore.

Thank you for posting... we're all salivating

What dreams are made of

I'm 59 and have never tasted porchetta. Add to foods to try 😛

I feel dirty just drooling at the sound of the slicing.

He is holding out!! Maybe only given us 30% of the process. No way can that crackling come out like that without major technical processing. This is one of the best crackling that I've seen. You cannot just put that in the oven for it to turn out like that.

Quality comes with price. Mouth watering ❤️❤️❤️

Looks ridiculously tasty 😋 . Can Amazon send me some in New Mexico? I have to google that. This man is a total perfectionist and a consummate professional.... absolutely great to watch him.

Mannaggia a maronn che spettacolo di porchetta

NOT FAIR !!! I have to stay in Saudi Arabia and I start starving to see this wonderfull Porchetta . ; -)

I thought it was only me crying but I read the comments and you guys are shedding tears too. I got goosebumps.

I’ve never seen pork look so good in my life I swore I would never eat pork again but this make me want to pray about it ... beautiful!! Amazing butcher and chef

Porchetta von feinsten, liebe grüße nach italien!

my mouth can't stop crying

The Camera man looked ike a ZoOMBIE when he eats that porksandwich .😳👻 6:50

Where can I find fennel pollen by the kilogram? Dove posso trovare il polline di finocchio per chilogrammo? This stuff is harder to find than a unicorn. Even when I'm in Italy it's near impossible and when I do it's over €‎100 for maybe 100g.

Boldly beautiful. A masterpiece! I thank his father for teaching him the art of this magnificent animal. BELLO!!!!!
