COVELLI SALUMI | Lucanian cured meat

What do COVELLI SALUMI do?

Zero-KM Cured Meats
The choice to produce zero-kilometer cured meats through a short supply chain ensures the origin, freshness, and authenticity of each product. It uniquely connects the agricultural world with the urban one, inviting people to rediscover the region through the genuine flavors of Lucanian products.

BRIGANTELLA
History, tradition, and innovation in a single product.
The Brigantella Lucana is much more than just a cured meat; it’s a sensory experience. Made exclusively with 100% Italian ingredients of the highest quality, it combines authentic flavors and aromas in a distinctive round shape. Thanks to the careful selection of lean pork cuts and the harmonious blend of spices and pepper, it offers a unique fusion that honors Lucanian tradition and creativity.

LUCANICA
The taste of tradition in every detail.
Lucanica, prepared with fresh pork from locally raised national pigs, is a symbol of quality and authenticity. Each piece is crafted using trimmed meat and carefully seasoned with salt, ground sweet pepper, and wild fennel. After a delicate overnight resting process, it is stuffed into natural casings and aged for about 18 days. Free from gluten, dairy derivatives, and preservatives, Lucanica stands as an emblem of excellence, delighting even the most discerning palates.

SOPPRESSATA
Excellence embodied in a cured meat.
Considered one of Italy’s most iconic cured meats, Soppressata is made using the finest parts of the pig, such as the ham and loin, complemented by pancetta to achieve a perfect balance of flavors. The meat, sourced from Lucanian farms, guarantees consistent origin and unparalleled quality. After a careful resting period, the mixture is stuffed into natural casings and aged for 30 days. This cured meat, also free from gluten and dairy derivatives, is celebrated as a true gem of Italian gastronomy.

What is the value proposition of COVELLI SALUMI?

All the cured meats it produces are made exclusively with top-quality raw materials, primarily sourced from certified local or Italian suppliers. Additionally, they are free from colorants, lactose, and gluten, making them ideal for those with food intolerances or anyone seeking a healthier diet.

But there’s more…
Lucanica, which accounts for 75% of its production, is a perfect example of tradition and authenticity. This cured meat is made without preservatives and, like all its products, contains no colorants, lactose, or gluten. Its production process completely avoids additives like nitrates and nitrites, adhering to natural preservation methods that honor traditional practices. Just like its ancestors, it uses natural ingredients such as salt, pepper, chili, and other spices to ensure the quality and genuine taste of its cured meats.

Sweet pepper: a key ingredient
Present in both sweet and spicy Lucanica, as well as in spicy Soppressata and spicy Casereccia, sweet pepper acts as a powerful natural antibacterial and antioxidant. With its high vitamin C content, it helps preserve the freshness and authenticity of the products, replacing the chemical additives commonly found in industrial cured meat production.
