Golfetta is the icon of the Golfera tradition, recognized and appreciated by entire generations. What makes it unique is not only its characteristic teardrop shape, but also the attention with which it is produced: from the choice of raw materials to the processing process. The result is a light and flavourful cured meat, easy to bring to the table in many different ways.
How Golfetta is Born
We produce Golfetta in our Lavezzola plant, using only selected lean meats, of Italian origin and from a certified supply chain. Its processing is still linked today to the interweaving of Golfera’s innovation and tradition. Many operations, for example, are manual: each piece is stuffed and tied by hand just like in the old days. A care that is combined with innovative technologies and that preserves its iconicity. The control of the entire production process then ensures a quality cured meat, suitable for those looking for taste and balance at the table.
The Quality of Raw Materials
To produce Golfetta, we choose only meat from pigs born, raised, and slaughtered in Italy, with a weight of over 130 kg and belonging to the “Italian Heavy Pig” type.
We select only the best cuts from selected farms, a choice that guarantees quality and contributes to the unmistakable taste of Golfetta salami. Golfetta salami. (opens in a new tab)
