Bresaola is made from beef instead of pork. More specifically, it typically is made with meat from the eye of the round cut of the cow, a very lean and tender cut. From a flavor perspective, Bresaola differs greatly from cuts like prosciutto. Whereas prosciutto is distinctly smooth and rich with its fat content, Bresaola prioritizes a sweet, aromatic flavor that accentuates the taste of the lean beef it’s made from and the spices used to impart flavor notes.
