Manufacturer History
Salumificio Santoro was born from the tenacious determination of Giuseppe Santoro and the vision of Piero Caramia, both butchers for over forty years, in the historic shops of their native towns of Cisternino and Martina Franca, in the heart of the lovely Itria Valley. A member of the Slow Food Presidium of Capocollo di Martina Franca, the company is committed to producing "Exquisite Cured Meats": the animals are raised in a semi-wild state, and the meats are handled with artisanal skill, following the time-honoured local tradition of curing meats. The story continues with Angela, Micaela, and Nico, the company's next generation, which is committed to appreciating the land, caring for the quality of products, and opening to 21st century innovation.
