What Volpi Makes

Some of Volpi’s staple products include:

• Prosciutto: Their flagship "Heritage Prosciutto" is slow-cured for months and won a national Good Food Award.

• Salami: Available in multiple varieties like Genoa, Chianti-infused, Finocchiona (fennel-spiced), and traditional Peppered Salame.

• Bresaola & Coppa: Air-dried beef (bresaola) and seasoned pork shoulder (coppa).

• Snack Packs: Convenient, pre-packaged items like Roltini (mozzarella sticks wrapped in prosciutto or pepperoni) and complete charcuterie board kits.
