Bresaola (/brɛˈzaʊlə/ breh-ZOW-lə, /brɪˈzoʊlə/ briz-OH-lə,[1] also UK: /brɛˈsaʊlə/ bress-OW-lə,[2] US: /brɛˈsoʊlə/ bress-OH-lə,[3][4] Italian: [breˈzaːola]) is air-dried, salted beef (but it can also be made of horse, venison and pork) that has been aged two or three months until it becomes hard and turns a dark red, almost purple colour. It is made from top (inside) round, and it is lean and tender, with a sweet, musty smell.[5] It originated in Valtellina, a valley in the Alps of northern Italy's Lombardy region.[6]
The word comes from the diminutive of Lombard bresada ('braised').[2][3][4]
