Golfetta is a symbol of excellence, an iconic product that has won over Italian and international consumers, keeping its roots firm with an eye always turned towards innovation. Its constant growth in consumer preferences is the result of our commitment to the pursuit of quality and our desire to always improve.
Golfetta, an icon of taste
Since 1989, Golfetta has brought an innovative idea to the table: a product capable of combining lightness and pleasure, quality and attention to well-being. A cured meat that has anticipated consumer trends and desires, becoming a point of reference for those looking for a taste with a recognizable character.
In the Italian charcuterie scene, in fact, Golfetta stands out for its history and its characteristic taste, confirming itself year after year as the best-selling salami in Italy (Source: Circana – Total Italy Cured Meats PV+PI in IPER+Super+SS/SPT, AT Dec2024). Born with the aim of offering a delicious cured meat, but with an eye to lightness, in 1990 Golfetta won the innovation Oscar at Cibus, a reference event for the Made in Italy agri-food sector.
Prepared from selected lean pork cuts, it is characterized by its iconic teardrop shape and its casing in cotton cloth, which enhances its aging and unique taste. Today, as then, Golfetta always remains current, a classic that continues to win over generations, demonstrating that innovating does not mean giving up one’s identity.
A new, lighter recipe
What makes Golfetta truly original is its perfect balance between lightness and taste. Always appreciated for its low fat content – about 60% less than Salame Milano (source CREA 2019) – in 2023 Golfetta took a further step towards well-being, thanks to the introduction of a new recipe. The goal? To make a great classic even lighter.
Today Golfetta is:
- Lactose and milk-free, for a lighter and more inclusive recipe.
- With 40% less sodium than Milano salami (Source CREA 2019), a balance that combines well-being and goodness.
This new version confirms the quality and taste of all time, the result of constant research and development work that has made it possible to reduce the amount of sodium without compromising the identity of the product, preserving its unique and recognizable flavour. The result is a more balanced cured meat, designed for those who choose a conscious diet every day, in Italy and in the rest of the world.
A scientifically approved result
Such a significant reduction in sodium content is particularly significant when considering the growing number of scientific studies that highlight the importance of limiting daily salt intake, especially for preventive purposes. Already during 2022, several international university studies had strengthened this thesis, underlining the benefits of a low-sodium diet for cardiovascular health and the general well-being of our body.
Selected ingredients and Italian taste
Golfetta is born from a careful selection of lean Italian meats and from an artisan knowledge that enhances the purity of the ingredients.
During aging in cotton cloth, the product develops a distinctive and refined taste, which translates into a unique taste experience.
On the palate it stands out for its balanced sweetness and a fine savouriness, embellished with delicate aromatic notes that evoke the Italian tradition reinterpreted in a light and contemporary key.
Its compact but soft texture gives an enveloping and pleasant sensation, in which the full taste meets lightness.
A versatile cured meat suitable for all ages
Thanks to its characteristics, the new Golfetta recipe is suitable for all ages and from aperitif to snack, it can become the protagonist in many moments of the day:
- Children’s snack, an alternative to be enjoyed with bread for a tasty and light break.
- Quick snack, perfect for satisfying a small appetite during the day.
- Savoury breakfast, for those who love to start the day with a touch of taste.
- Quick lunch or dinner, ideal to combine with sandwiches or salads.
- Aperitif or gourmet platter, to add flavour to convivial moments.
- As an ingredient in delicious recipes, to be added to savoury pies, pizzas and baked specialities.
Golfetta thus confirms itself as a cured meat capable of accompanying every occasion with taste, lightness and quality.
