In half a century Vida, established in 1966, has transformed from an artisanal workshop to a modern food company, with avant-garde buildings and production techniques. Vida produces a full range of cooked and cured meats, from classic ham, speck, salami, pork fat, coppa, and bacon to cooked hams like Pandicotto; Brace ed Erbe without milk derivatives, additional polyphosphates, gluten or glutamate; and Alta Qualità from local pork. There is also a line of organic meats, called Biovida.
