The art of Italian cured meats in the Leoncini catalog
Each cured meat is crafted using methods that honor Italian artisanal traditions, preserving the authentic flavors that have made Italian salumi renowned around the world. Leoncini's product range is extensive and varied, featuring mortadella, cooked hams, Prosciutto di Parma PDO, pancetta, coppa, and other specialties. All products are made from the highest quality ingredients and undergo rigorous food safety inspections to ensure both compliance and exceptional taste.
Mortadella
Leoncini mortadellas are a standout in the company's catalog, crafted from carefully selected meats (ham, shoulder, pancetta) and prepared through an extended cooking process in traditional brick ovens. This method ensures an unparalleled softness and a distinctive, delicate flavor. When sliced, the mortadella reveals a smooth, velvety surface with a vibrant and uniform pink color. The exclusive blend of spices and seasonings imparts an aromatic fragrance, while being balanced to ensure it remains light on digestion.
Leoncini offers a broad range of mortadellas, including Bologna Mortadella PGI, along with other traditional varieties such as Sicilian pistachio mortadella, spicy mortadella, stuffed mortadellas, and mortadellas in special formats.
Cooked hams
Leoncini's cooked hams are made from carefully selected pork legs, sourced from strictly controlled suppliers. Every stage of the process is designed to preserve the natural qualities of the meat. The legs are gently massaged and slowly steam-cooked, with the addition of a small amount of brine, made from salt and fine spices, to give a refined aroma and an exceptionally tender texture.
The quality is such that all of the company's cooked hams are classified under the "Cotto Alta Qualità" (High Quality Cooked Ham) and "Cotto Scelto" (Selected Cooked Ham) categories, with no use of gluten, soy proteins, or other additives.
Pancetta and Coppa
The range of pancetta and coppa (cured pork necks) is made from premium Italian meats, prepared according to time-honored recipes. These cured meats undergo a traditional wood-smoking process, which imparts an intense flavor, firm texture, and perfect slicing yield. This selection includes Pancetta Affumicata, prized for its bold flavor and traditional wood-smoking, and Coppa Nostrana Dolce, which, after a minimum of 10 weeks of aging, retains its authentic taste and rosy color.
Cured hams
The excellence of Leoncini's cured hams stems from a production process that meticulously blends raw material selection with artisanal craftsmanship. Every step, from manual techniques to aging, is handled with the utmost precision, utilizing advanced technologies and modern facilities. Leading products include Prosciutto di Parma PDO and Prosciutto di San Daniele PDO, both celebrated for their sweet and refined flavor.
The Prosciutti di Parma, crafted by Langhiranese Prosciutti, a long-established company in the Leoncini Group, are produced in full accordance with the Prosciutto di Parma PDO production regulations. Available in various stages of aging, starting from 16 months, and in different sizes, these hams are masterpieces of artisanal gastronomy, the result of a carefully monitored aging process that ensures unmatched excellence.
