Each batch is created with love

Each small batch is created with love by the talented Antonio Varia, Chef and Owner of Buona Tavola Restaurants in San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles, located in the beautiful Central Coast region of California.

For over two decades, Chef Varia has delighted residents and visitors with his inventive Northern Italian cuisine in his Buona Tavola (meaning "good table") restaurants.

Alex Pellini, Chef Varia’s nephew, came over from Italy in 2009 to help with the restaurant operations and has been instrumental in the creation and supervision of the salami production.

Every batch of salami requires careful supervision and timing to ensure the perfect taste and consistency.

Our fresh, natural pork comes from a supplier that guarantees vegetarian fed, crate free animals. No hormones or antibiotics are used.

Ingredients are locally sourced when possible and all products and facilities are USDA inspected and approved. Our Products »
