In 1878, when our parent firm was founded in Italy by Giuseppe Citterio. He began by creating the original recipe for Salame di Milano and went on to develop the exceptional Prosciutti and other distinctive Italian Salumi. The care, the total concentration on quality which our founder devoted to the selection and aging of fine meats quickly gained him a reputation that was recognized far beyond the historic city of Milano. The tradition continues to this day, as a world-renowned firm family owned and operated for four generations. "One taste – and you'll know why the world's most celebrated Italian specialty meats come from Citterio!" http://www.citteriousa.com
