Coppa dei Castelli

The Salumificio dei Castelli boasts a full four generations in the world of norcineria (traditional pork butchery), located in Montecchio Maggiore, at the foot of the Castelli from which it takes its name, and this is where Coppa dei Castelli is born

Coppa dei Castelli

The salumeria is located in the heart of the Province of Vicenza, where it carries on traditional Venetian pork butchery, particularly that of Vicenza. We are in the homeland of Soprèssa, which since 2003 has been awarded Protected Designation of Origin status, the first among Venetian cured meats to receive this recognition. To make its cured products, the salumeria uses fresh meat from heavy Italian pigs or prized beef cuts: carefully selected and hand-worked with a knife, ensuring a high level of quality control. All cuts of the pig are used, including the finest, to obtain a product of true excellence, sweet and flavoured with garlic. Coppa is a traditional cured meat. Versions of it exist in every region of Italy. We carry out expert salting and seasoning. It is then stuffed and left to age for a long time to achieve a product with a bold flavour. Our coppa has a soft texture, yet at the same time firm. It has a pleasantly delicate flavour, in line with the taste of our region. For our cured meats we use only the best fresh cuts of selected meat, without the use of additives.

The Coppa dei Castelli is available in a size of approximately 2 kg. All the cured meats from Salumeria dei Castelli are listed in the A.I.C. guide (Associazione Italiana Celiachia, the Italian Celiac Association).
