operations:at first the fish is cleaned off from the entrails
called (curada),rubbed in salt and then deposited in a large steel
inox boxes.Every 12 hours they must be controlled mixed for few
days.The salt quantity is critical and important for the result

process the fish is ready to be arranged in a little circular
boxes called”MISOLTA”.Originally the misolta was made
of wood and the fish was pressed with a light strenght to get
out oil and its natural fat...This process is typical and exclusive
handycraft.
