Nutritional Value

Lean meat

• It has one of the highest protein levels (on average, 28 gr. per 100 gr. of edible flesh, compared with 19-22 gr. for lean beef or boiled ham).
• Most of these proteins are hydrolized, which means they are pre-digested, making this product particularly suitable for the elderly, children and all those who have problems with digestion.
• It contains a high level of free-form amino acids, including branching amino acids, that make Culaccia ® aged for 400 days or more a valuable source of energy for young people, athletes and convalescents.
• It is rich in vitamins; in fact, just 100 gr. of the product provide the entire daily requirement of B1, 1/3 of that of vitamin B6 and 25-30% of vitamin PP.
• It also has a high mineral content. 100 gr. of Culaccia ® contain 1/4 to 1/6 of the entire daily requirement of phosphorous, potassium, iron and zinc.

Fat

• Muscle fat content is just 3-4 gr. per 100 gr. of product, making it comparable to that of lean beef and chicken.
• The cholesterol level is only 70 mg. per 100 gr. thanks to the strict breeding criteria utilized. Culaccia ® fat is primarily unsaturated and fully in line with current nutritional guidelines.
• Its main components are oleic acid (the same as in olive oil) and linoleic steric acid, both important in the prevention of heart disease.

These characteristics make Culaccia ® a valuable dietary resource that maybe freely served to children, the elderly, athletes and convalescents, as well as all those who suffer from lack of appetite or have dietary restrictions.
