The high-quality cold cuts from the black pig from Calabria carry the brand "Nero di Calabria" of the consortium, in which the President Franco Simone works with great commitment and passion.

The consortium comprises approximately 20 breeders from Pollino to Aspromonte. All are committed to ensuring that the autochthonous pig breed "Nero" is maintained.

Sausages (salsiccia), Soppressata, pancetta (bacon), Guanciale and also 36 months cured ham of exceptional quality is made from the pork. The pigs are bred for at least two years.

The pigs are kept wild or semi-wild and they eat what they find between chestnut, oak and olive trees. This kind of breeding has a long tradition in Calabria.
