context_page_description: Pitina, Peta or Petuccia is an Italian cold cut originating in the Dolomite valleys of Tramonti di Sopra and Tramonti di Sotto, and the River Cellina, in the northeastern Italian province of Pordenone in Friuli. It is not a true sausage, but a meatball made of smoked meats. The recipe was probably based on the impromptu need to preserve game. The preparation method did not require specialized equipment making it available to all homes, even the most isolated mountain huts.
  Today the tradition is still alive and pitina is being produced commercially by several families in the province of Pordenone.
