An historic artisan at the heart of the Modena countryside

From artisan production to industrial evolution: the story of a traditional family-run company.

image

An Italian company based in the historic centre of pork production. And a 23-year-old girl who overnight found herself at the head of her father-in-law's cured meat factory.

From that first day, Luisa began to bring her vision alive. Integrating innovation with tradition, she started an evolution that would propel an artisan business into a global brand, yet always guided by the same proud family values.

A focus on uncompromising quality. Constant innovation. And five-star customer service. It’s an effective recipe for success that has enabled Salumificio Vecchi to conquer new markets from provincial shopkeepers to the great circuits of the hospitality, mass market retail, and food industries - both in Italy and overseas.

Feast your eyes on the products of Modena tradition

Cotechino, zampone, sausages, fresh mincemeat, coppa di testa. The essential ingredients for Sundays and feast days in the Bel Paese.

Italian tradition

Zampone and cotechino are two types of pork sausage typically enjoyed at Christmas and New Year. Simple to prepare, these high quality classics are available uncooked or precooked and in various formats, weights, and recipes. This is pork processed as it used to be for a genuine taste of Italian tradition.

image

Fresh meats

Coppa di testa is a proud symbol of Salumificio Vecchi history and identity. Hand processed and bound, this traditional charcuterie is made from pig's head, cheek, and neck, as well as sausage and fresh mincemeat. The authentic flavors are rich in taste but light on the stomach. A treat from the heart of Emilia.

Spotlight on cotechino and zampone

image

What are zampone and cotechino?

These two sausages are made for feast days, with tasty fillings of pork and spices.

The difference lies in the casing: pig's trotter for zampone and simple gut for cotechino.

image

How do you cook them?

Pre-cooked:
Immerse the aluminised bag in water, bring to the boil, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the wrapper, drain, and serve with a side dish such as lentils, beans, or fresh vegetables.

Fresh:
Remove the packaging, prick the casings, cover with water, bring to the boil, then gently simmer: one hour for cotechino and at least three hours for zampone.

image

What do you serve them with?

A must-have at Christmas and New Year's Eve served with stewed lentils.

At other times, you can set your imagination free. Why not try stewed beans, potato purée, sautéed cabbage, or fried polenta? Any other ideas?

image

When do you eat them?

These sausages are traditionally eaten at the beginning of the New Year to bring prosperity.

The custom arises from the old peasant practice of slaughtering a pig in December to guarantee meat for the following year.
