What is speck on pizza?

A speck on pizza typically refers to a type of cured and smoked Italian ham. Speck is usually thinly sliced and added as a topping to pizzas for a flavorful and savory touch. It is made from the hind leg of a pig and is seasoned with various spices, such as garlic, juniper, and bay leaves, before being smoked for several months.

Speck can add a delicious smoky, salty, and slightly sweet flavor to pizza, and is often used in combination with other toppings such as cheese, vegetables, and herbs. It is popular in Italian cuisine and can be found in many pizzerias and restaurants that serve authentic Italian dishes.
