Manufacturer History
Antica Ardenga is a small company that produces limited quantities of cured meats from the Bassa Parmense, a region long devoted, through tradition and an ideal climate, to producing high quality cured meats. From Culatello, the undisputed king of Italian cured meats, to other sausages long tied to local traditions, all our products come from the meat of pigs born and raised on our farm, fed with our company's GMO-free products, raised to age 14 months, and butchered at around 260 kg. The company is one of the thirteen producers that make up the Culatello di Zibello Consortium, a Slow-Food Presidium, as well as a producer of such typical products as Mariola (cured and for cooking) and Spalla Cruda (with and without bone), both of them also Slow-Food Presidiums.
