Opificio 1899's aim is to bring out the best of the time-honored art of Italian charcuterie, drawing on excellent ingredients and artisan craftsmanship. The project was spawned by Salumeria Pavoncelli so as to carry on a tradition of production that's as artisanal as possible, niche but also accessible to a wide range of consumers. No artificial preservatives are used, salt content is reduced, salting, binding and deboning of 100% Italian pork by hand, processing that involves machine grinding and stuffing, natural casings, flax and hemp chord.
