The producer
Salumi Benvenuti - Lucca (LU) - Tuscany
Why we chose them
Salumi Benvenuti was founded in 1958 by Enzo and Rocco Benvenuti, owners of a small grocery shop in the heart of Lucca, where they sold
salami produced in their country home. Their success grew over time, leading them to take a further step in 1996: building a new, modern factory
that complies with European regulations to produce a wide range of Tuscan cured meats. Today, the factory has been expanded and is managed
by the founders' children. Genuine and authentic in flavour, their products include those linked to the most authentic Tuscan pork butchery
traditions, such as guanciale and lardo. Artisanal production, passionate but also well structured, with simple, top-quality ingredients: the meat used
comes from Northern Italy and is processed fresh, with skilful use of herbs and spices, primarily garlic and pepper. All products are strictly gluten-free,
lactose-free and free from milk derivatives.
