The campanello, also known as heel muscle, corresponds to the human calf and is composed of the Achilles tendon and the muscles covering the back of the tibia. Rich in connective tissue, it requires slow and prolonged cooking.
One of the great classics of American BBQ—the undisputed king of the pit. It comes from the forequarter of the beef, specifically the brisket, or punta di petto. The cut consists of two distinct muscle groups separated by a thick layer of fat: the FLAT, the larger, thinner, and wider section, and the POINT, a thicker and more marbled portion that sits on top. It’s a tough cut of meat, but with slow cooking it becomes incredibly tender and flavorful, known for its signature bark—a dark, peppery crust formed during smoking. It requires seasoning at least three hours before cooking and the addition of smoking wood, typically cherry and oak. The Ruka Beef selection ensures excellent marbling, promoting a perfect, even cook and delivering a uniquely rich result.
