Chicago, Illinois
During the spring of 2010, Agostino took note that 'Nduja, the typical product of his hometown in Calabria, started to make a big impact in the Chicago food scene. Being dissatisfied with the quality of the product he was finding, he was inspired to create the original taste of his hometown and bring it to the States. When his father came to visit from Italy that winter, they did just that and were elated with what they created. Agostino has passed on the passion of salumi making to his son, Tony. Together, they are Tempesta. With knowledge accumulated over five generations, it has culminated in a product that tastes just as authentic as Spilinga’s, the birthplace of ‘Nduja. They have done so by assembling a master mix of assorted dried peppers, both local and imported, to achieve similar spice, heat, and flavor notes as the famed Calabrian peppers.

Smoked TurkeyThe turkey is brined for 24 hours in a flavorful marinade of warming spices and maple sugar. Following this luxurious bath, the bird is very lightly coated in complementing spices and hot-smoked, which is where it takes on its deep amber color through to its finish. Cooked in full, then the turkey is chilled and sliced, resulting in an incredibly moist and delicate texture imparted from the brine. Y1700270 · 2/6-8 lb |
