The producer
Selve di Vallolmo - Poppi (AR) - Tuscany
Why we chose them
The wild breeding farm Le Selve di Vallolmo is located in the uncontaminated National Park of Casentino forest. We are in the oriental part of
Tuscany and this company take care of Grigio del Casentino pigs under the supervision of the founder Claudio Orlandi. It is a tough, but beautiful
and passion driven activity, run by the whole Claudio's family. Each member leads a different part of the business, from pigs birth to animal feeding,
from breeding to cold cuts production and sales.The farm was born as Large White pigs breeder in the 80. Then starting with new millennium
Claudio felt the need to integrate and differentiate more his proposition and started a charcuterie production with high quality meats. Grigio del
Casentino pigs arrived a bit later, they are the result of a cross between a classic pig and Moro Romagnolo or Cinta Senese. Those animal are the
protagonist of a project which protects them from the risk of extinction. A few local breeders, colleagues of Claudio, are contributing at the
safeguard
of this maculated pig. The core product of today tasting is the Prosciutto del Casentino, Slow Food Presidium, and then Mortadella, Pancetta and
Ruffiana, all rigorously made with Grigio del Casentino meats.
