Question 1

How long will it last unopened and sealed

Accepted Answer

The biggest problem I have had is it well start evacuate the salt and get crusty on the outside after a few weeks.  Especially where sliced.  I an not sure how to prevent it.  Keep it in sealed bag and it will last ridiculously long since it is so low in water content.  Treat it like a hard cheese and just keep it cold until ready to use.  I would say a few month refrigerated and up to a year in a 0 F freezer and even then it just oxidizes mildly.  You just have to use it soon after thawing like any meat and never refreeze it.  I only use 4 to 8 oz at time so I cut it into about a several sections and freeze a few immediately for later on.  Cured meat is a lot safer then uncured meat !!

Question 2

How should it be stored?

Accepted Answer

If it is in its vacuum-sealed package, it can be stored for many months in the fridge. When you first open the package, allow the Speck to "breathe" at room temperature for a few hours before eating it as this enables the Speck to develop its full aroma.  Once unpackaged Speck can be kept in the fridge for a few weeks wrapped in a piece of cloth or placed between two soup dishes, always making sure it isn't placed next to pungent foods.

Question 3

How many ounces per serving, and how much sodium per serving?

Accepted Answer

It depends how hungry you are.  It is one piece that weighs about 5 pounds, ready to be sliced into whatever size/s you wish.

Question 4

What’s IGP

Accepted Answer

I found this source from "yesmilano.it"  using a search engine, hope it helps.
Italy is the European country with the largest number of agri-food products to have been awarded the EU-recognised Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) and Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) status.

This is further demonstration of the great quality of Italian food products but, above all, of the strong bonds that link Italian agri-food excellence to its territory of origin.
