List of products by supplier Salumificio dei Castelli

Vicenza is known throughout the world as the city of gold. Very true, but Vicenza and its province offer many other treasures, such as the beautiful villas of Palladio and many refined food and wine specialties. Among these delicacies, the Soprèssa Vicentina DOP stands out: a tasty, fragrant and soft, almost crumbly, cured meat. In Montecchio Maggiore, among the hills connecting Vicenza and Verona, we discovered an artisan meat-processing company called «Dei Castelli», named in honor of the nearby castles of Romeo and Juliet. The Fantin family founded this company in 1998, and since then has dedicated itself with total passion and the most scrupulous care to the production of cured meats typical of the area, following recipes handed down from farming tradition. Essential to the particular softness of the Soppressa Vicentina DOP, besides the quality of the meats, is the skillful balance between humidity and curing temperature: for this reason, in the past farmers would hang the soppresse to dry near a fireplace during the initial curing stage. Today, at Salumificio dei Castelli, a more technological system is used (also because there's no room in the company for 100 fireplaces!), but the final result is practically the same. The meats are strictly Italian and of high quality: to be precise, they come only from the «Parma e San Daniele» supply chain. The careful sectioning, the selection of the most suitable cuts for the various products, the combination with salt and spices, the processing and the curing make the Soppressa Vicentina DOP by Salumificio dei Castelli a deliciously tasty product of superb quality. All products are also included in the AIC (Associazione Italiana Celiachia) food handbook.
