ETHICAL FARMING FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Tuscan Agricultural Butchery
The SALUMIFICIO PATRONE brand is synonymous with tradition, passion, and quality in meat processing.
A Story of Dedication and Innovation
Since 1992, the SALUMIFICIO PATRONE brand has been synonymous with tradition, passion, and quality in meat processing. Our story is rooted in the Irpinian culture, where Lorenzo and Maria learnt the art of pork processing, transforming it into a business that today represents Tuscan excellence.
After the devastating earthquake of 1980, the Patrone family moved to Tuscany, bringing with them the values and knowledge of artisanal tradition.
Our journey began with the production of high-quality porchetta and cured meats, winning over the market thanks to the authenticity and unique flavour of our products.
In 1996, growing success led us to build the new salumificio in Venturina Terme, to meet the ever-increasing demand.
The Pursuit of Excellence
In 2013, Luca Patrone began an in-depth study on native Italian pig breeds, focusing on the Cinta Senese PDO for its extraordinary organoleptic qualities. He thus started the first farms, laying the groundwork for a new approach to production—ethical and sustainable.
Thanks to Nica’s intuition, in 2014 a collaboration was born with the Bulichella winery, giving rise to wine-aged cured meats, combining the best of Tuscan gastronomic tradition.
