Fratelli Beretta stands as one of the oldest family-operated Italian charcuterie companies. Their dedication to high-quality meats thrives to this day. Merging modern facilities with traditional recipes, they ensure their products are consistently treated with meticulous attention. DOP stands for “Denominazione di Origine Protetta,” which translates to “Protected Designation of Origin.” As the name implies, this certification confirms that products are locally grown and packaged. It offers a promise to the consumer: a guarantee that the food is produced by local farmers and artisans employing traditional methods.

This exquisite prosciutto from Carpegna, Italy, is renowned for its robust flavor and tender, nearly elastic texture. This air-dried ham is exclusively produced from Pesante Padano pigs native to the Italian regions of Lombardia, Emilia-Romagna, and Marche. It undergoes a salting process using sweet Cervian sea salt for a minimum of 10 months, followed by a coating of lard and a distinctive blend of spices. Enjoy the subtly sweet and savory taste of this cured meat alongside robust Italian cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano. Pair the thinly sliced prosciutto with an antipasto and your preferred wine for a delightful experience.
