The term Bresaola, in the past brazaola, brisaola or bresavola, is of very uncertain origin. In fact, if the "saola" suffix can easily attributable to the use of salt in the preservation of the product, the harder it is to find a unique interpretation and shared on the origin of the word in its entirety.
On the first interpretation, the etymology can be found in the Germanic word "brasa", barbecued, since ancient times, to heat and dehumidify the air in the seasoning, the braziers were used, from which emanated an aromatic smoke, obtained by throwing juniper berries and bay leaves over hot coals of fir wood.
According to another interpretation, the origin of the name is to be found in the local dialectical "brisa", which indicates a strong salt gland of cattle, and even today, with the "Sala come brisa" expression refers to the very salty meat. With the passage of time then the original "brisaola" became today's "bresaola".
