Bresaola's nutritional characteristics have played a key role in determining its increasing success over the last years. Unlike other cured meat products bresaola is poor in fats (appr. 4%) and rich in proteins (ranging from 30 to 40%); therefore it constitutes a natural integrator particularly suitable for those practising sports, beyond being easily digestible.
Moreover bresaola is appreciated as well by people who prefer a low-calorie product (163 Kcal per 100g) without renouncing to taste: as a result of it bresaola is highly recommended in all balanced diets suggested by nutritional experts.
