An Italian brand, made in the USA

To be confirmed: the founding year is from our old product page; the logo may read 1827. The producer and plant are to come.

An enduring "super premium" brand, in Italy since 1821, as our old product page records.

Bellentani is an Italian brand made domestically in the USA. Quality is the hallmark of every product.

Chapter

The salami

Bellentani meat is from selected 85% lean pork, fed only corn and soybeans, and hand trimmed. The salami is 28% fat, against 33% for many other salamis, and meets Federal guidelines to be classified as lean.

It is traditionally cured, not heat treated, so it develops more flavor complexity.

Chapter

The prosciutto

Bellentani Prosciutto is aged a minimum of 200 days "on the bone", from full legs, the same as in Parma: all natural, made with only pork and sea salt.

Our goal is to create domestic prosciutto second to none.
