Norcineria for three generations.
Grandfather Luigi, originally from Biselli, a village in the Norcia area, where the culture of norcineria was born and developed for years, he learned the trade and became passionate about it. Around 1915 he opened his first norcineria in Rome in via delle Milizie 124 where he transforms local cattle with expert hands, from there his business will always grow steadily, he will open two stalls at the Rome market and in the meantime his beautiful family grows with 6 children, who find themselves passing on the teachings of their father Luigi Baldassari.
Together they decide to build a production point in the hills looking for a suitable place for the aging and processing of pork legs to obtain a ham with unmistakable aromas and flavors.
The "Salumificio di Configni" is established, which will be in the industrial center of Configni (RI) giving work to many people who become part of a large family.
In the meantime, the years pass and the third generation of norcini begins, the eldest of the sons Franco Baldassari, Marcello, after growing up in the family business, learning all the stages of processing from raising pigs through slaughtering and seasoning, decides to found his own business.
In 1997 the "Marcello Baldassari srl" was born, which over the years will concentrate on selecting expert hands to create the recipes that you can still find on your tables today, choosing the raw materials personally which will then give a quality product.
Marcello Baldassari srl selects the best heavy pork meats from Italian farms to produce products with a "once upon a time" taste revisited in a modern key.
The company delivers fresh and cured meat in central Italy with its own refrigerated vehicles and ships to the rest of Italy and Europe.
Marcello Baldassari SRL soon became "Prosciutteria Baldassari®" and in addition to a series of seasoned products such as lonza, capocolli and many others, it developed some hams that will take the brand of:
IL FIORDICOSCIO ®
ANTICA TORRE®
