Our company started working in the 6o's when Giovanni and his son Piero started slaughtering rabbit meat in a little abattoir in the province of Forli-Cesena. In 1995, Piero, thanks to his love for this work, decided to open a new factory in Forlimpopoli; nowadays, it is considered one of the most important slaughtering factory in Italy and Europe. Since then, a new network of companies has been created, covering the whole area of Emilia Romagna. Thanks to this production chain, it has been possible to cross the national boundaries. The best management of the process in order to obtain the best quality meat is a consequence of the proximity of all the breeding farms to the main factory in Forlimpopoli. The excellence of our meat is the result of our view, centered on environment and unity, in which sustainability, wellness and tradition are basic values for our production chain, from the breeding to the distribution, in order to guarantee to our customer, every day, the taste and the certainty to have bought safe food.
