Lonzu, also known as Corsican lonzo, is a charcuterie specialty from Corsica. Made from French pork tenderloin, it is seasoned with salt, pepper, dextrose, and sucrose, with antioxidant E252. This product is encased in natural casing, cooked, and then smoked with beech wood before undergoing a minimum drying process of 8 weeks. Lonzu is enjoyed raw, as an appetizer or starter, and improves with time. Its slices can be thin or thick, and it shouldn't be too dry to reveal its full flavor. Lonzu is a product that has a long shelf life, allowing the tasting experience to be prolonged.
