Real works of art to taste but also to admire thanks to Tastes in art at Cibus 2016.

At the 18^th edition of Cibus, the International food fair that takes place in Parma from the 9^th to the 12^th of Mai, Salumificio Pedrazzoli will animate the food exhibition with real “installation artworks” that combine tasting events and trials through delicious salamis, cheese and mustards at Pavilion 2- Stand L 056.

Also this year, Salumificio Pedrazzoli, with seat in San Giovanni del Dosso in the province of Mantua, participates to Cibus to present to its visitors and experts of the food sector the novelties of its production.

“This year we present many novelties to the public and to the experts of the sector- so Elisa Pedrazzoli, the export manager and leader of the organic line PrimaVera Bio by Pedrazzoli- the first one is the partnership with two manufacturers of Italian excellences, the dairy Bertinelli, whose Parmigiano Reggiano has become famous worldwide and the historic company Lazzaris, which is located in Treviso and produces mustards and jam. We share the same values and passion to do genuine things, the search for high quality and excellence in every step of the production process. Therefore it was absolutely natural for us to participate together to this experience. We want to share the idea we strongly believe in, our philosophy: artisan tradition, passion, experience, transparency but also innovation and the guaranty for the consumer of the highest levels of healthiness and security.

“Pedrazzoli is proud of being one of the last companies that are both breeders and producers – so Emanuele Pedrazzoli the Sales Director for Italy- because our sausages are made solely with the meat of the pigs bred in our breeding farms that are located in Lombardy and Emilia Romagna. Our “100% made in Italy” is real , without compromises, and guaranteed through a certificate of origin, because we produce only what we breed.

Among the novelties that are presented this year, there is “La Nera”, the pancetta (seasoned pig’s belly) made with black pig’s meat, which is part of the Luxury Gourmand Q+ line. Black pig, a native breed from the hills of Parma, is bred in the wild and it is fed only with natural feed (based on sweet corn, oaks, tuber, roots), which gives to the meat a particular and pleasantly spicy taste.

The other two novelties of the organic line PrimaVera, which is the jewel of Pedrazzoli and celebrates its 20 years, are: the organic Toscano – Lo Sgambato, which is obtained from the Italian pig’s thigh that is trimmed in the shape of an arch, deboned (that’s why in Italian it is called “sgambato”) and cured with salt, pepper and other natural flavourings. It is, then, seasoned for at least 12 months. Then, there is the delicious organic roasted chicken breast, which is obtained from the meat of the chickens that are bred in our organic farms and whose nutritional properties  are peculiar, given the law quantity of fat that characterizes this product and allows it to be included in any kind of diet.

All the organic products by Pedrazzoli are without gluten, milk-by products and additives in compliance with the law on organic production.

Last but not least, another novelty is the presence at the stand of our chef Daniele Reponi, the genius of gourmet sandwiches, who takes part to the TV program “La Prova del Cuoco” on the Italian channel Rai1. Reponi will creatively combine tastes and scents of the excellent sausages of Pedrazzoli, the delicious cheese of Bertinelli and the unique mustards and jam of Lazzaris.

Two important meetings in Germany for the organic delicatessen of the PrimaVera line by Salumificio Pedrazzoli: at BioWest in Düsseldorf and at BioOst in Berlin.

The fair in Düsseldorf has recently taken place (on the 17^th of April) and we are ready for the next one in Berlin, on Saturday the 24^th of April. Two important events for the experts of the organic sector in a country, Germany, that represents the largest market of the EU in terms of organic products.

A unique showcase to present our Italian excellences, the organic delicatessen of the PrimaVera line by Pedrazzoli, which are made of solely organic meat of our Italian pigs that are bred in our free-range farms, where the well-being of animals is put at the first place. The organic delicatessen of Salumificio Pedrazzoli put together the unique taste of the Italian butchery tradition and the respect for the environment and the well-being of animals. The respect for the needs of animals and the promotion of well-being criteria, together with the 100% eco-friendly environment (without any source of pollution) that hosts the pigs  are the prerequisites for the creation of good and genuine product. The organic breeding farms owned by Pedrazzoli have enough space that allows the animals to move freely. In fact, it is proportional to the number of head. Moreover, they are equipped with comfortable places, made of natural materials, where the animals can recover.

Organic breeding includes also other types of care concerning the animals’ well-being. Moreover, it respects the natural growth rhythm of animals, avoiding the use of any hormones/growth promoters.

BioOst and BioWest are two important fairs that take place in Germany and, together with BioSüd and BioNord, they host about 13000 visitors every year. More than one hundred exhibitors take part to these fairs, among them there are breeders, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers of the organic sector. In whole, the four fairs cover different areas of Germany, i. e. Berlin, Düsseldorf, Augsburg and Hannover. The last two take place respectively on the 25^th of September and the 9^th of October.

Visit our stand at BioOst in Berlin on the 24^th of April, we are in the hall 25-C14.

Salame Ettore is a unique salami of the organic line Primavera by Pedrazzoli, which is produced with only organic meat of Italian pigs bred in free-range farms.

Over the years,  salami has been the protagonist of an important development in the Italian culinary tradition. Every region can boast various types of salami with different denominations, according to the area of production, the type of grain or the ingredients that it contains. From the most famous denominations, like “Salame Napoli” with a fine grain, “Milano” with a rice-sized grain, “Salame Ungherese” that is slightly smoked, to many regional specialties, like “Finocchiona Toscana”, “Soppressa Calabrese” or “Felino” from the province of Parma. And for Ettore’s production, Salumificio Pedrazzoli takes inspiration precisely from “Felino”.

Ettore is produced with first quality meat of pigs bred in our organic free-range farms. It is minced in medium-sized grain and it is filled into a natural bowel called “gentile”. The mixture of spices, with which the pig’s meat is flavoured, is made of salt, pepper (in whole grains or crushed). The process of filling is made carefully to avoid the creation of air pockets. Also,  seasoning is rigorously controlled because of the large size of this salami that has a high level of humidity to drain.  A proper time of seasoning (at least 45 days) allows the perfect mixing of the fat and the lean parts of the meat.

Long shape and a small diameter, tenderness and a delicate, sweet and fragrant taste are Ettore’s most particular features. It is cut rigorously with a knife and served in combination with hard-dough bread.

During the cut, the bowel should not be removed to allow the external scent to penetrate the product. To obtain larger slices, we suggest to cut it from the bottom to the top side, in an oblique direction.

Combine Ettore with a good glass of fresh Lambrusco or another Italian sparkling wine, like Prosecco di Valdobbiadene or Franciacorta Saten. It can also match perfectly with an organic artisan beer.
