Once upon a time in Puglia, dense-crusted, tender-crumbed semolina loaves were the lifeblood of roaming shepherds, who could count on the bread to stay good for a week of wandering with their flocks. Today, the shepherds have cars and smartphones, but pane di Altamura is no less vital to life in these parts.

Mora romagnola pigs once dominated the hills of Ravenna in central Italy. But the menace of modernity reduced those numbers dramatically until just 15 remained at the dawn of the 21st century. Cue the food fighters: a small handful of farmers set about reviving the black-haired beasts known for their abundance of sweet fat.

Take your pick: Lean legs of spiced beef air-dried up to four months; a Tuscan salame seasoned with fennel and red wine; the heart of the hind leg of pig, cured in a pig or cow bladder; cured, unsmoked pork belly. Eaten raw or cooked crispy; pork fat seasoned with herbs and spices and cured in Tuscan marble; emulsified pork speckled with fat, pepper, and pistacchio.
