In the heart of the Apennines in Emilia, SAP – Salumificio Artigianale Pavullese – continues a tradition that began in 1973, combining time-honored artisanal expertise with a modern approach to food production. Its products are defined by the absence of preservatives, the exclusive use of selected Italian meats and natural spices, and fully artisanal processing - a combination that has made the brand a symbol of authentic Made in Italy quality.
Artisanal tradition and authentic flavor in SAP's product lines
SAP offers a wide range of products, organized into distinct lines, each with its own identity designed to highlight flavors, consumption occasions, and regional traditions. Among these, the Voglietta and CuorEmilia lines stand out - one reflecting a convivial and creative spirit, the other rooted in traditional local cuisine. All products share the company's same high standards, with recipes tailored to those seeking gluten-free, lactose-free, and additive-free options.
Voglietta Line
Available in 11 varieties, this line features convivial and innovative cured meats, ideal for aperitifs and brunch. Each variant is defined by a distinctive spice, lending it a unique aroma and flavor. Highlights include:
- Voglietta Dolce, a mild version with salt and pepper.
- Voglietta al Finocchio, Etruscan-style with aromatic fennel seeds.
- Voglietta Super Piccante, with Habanero, Scotch Bonnet, and Trinidad Scorpion peppers.
- Voglietta all'Aglio di Voghiera PDO.
- Voglietta Ubriaca, infused with Lambrusco DOCG wine.
- Voglietta Cacciagione, available in wild boar, venison, and roe deer varieties.
Each product in the line is flavorful, natural, and free from artificial flavorings, offering a variety of textures and aromas to satisfy both delicate and bold palates.
CuorEmilia Line
This line celebrates the most authentic traditions of the Emilia region. Crafted in the shadow of Montecuccoli Castle, in the heart of the Modenese Apennines, CuorEmilia products are handmade using time-honored methods. The goal is to bring the spirit of Emilia to the table, offering selections that evoke genuine emotion through taste. Each salume is created to tell a story of passion, quality, and respect for traditional recipes.
The CuorEmilia line includes specialties such as:
- Traditional salamis made from shoulder meat, ground prosciutto, and pork jowl, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and natural spices.
- Dried and pre-sliced meats in convenient formats, ideal for retail and takeaway.
- Pancetta and coppa cured slowly and tied by hand.
- Aged hams, including boneless and culaccia versions.
- Cotechini, zampone, pork shanks, and coppa di testa, also available pre-cooked.
The range is completed by the brand's famous Spreadable Pesti, a Modenese specialty. From the classic "Pesto della Nonna" to Lardo Montanaro, these spreads are perfect for filling tigelle, crescentine, or warm bread, and for pairing with meat or vegetable dishes.
In addition to its artisanal production, SAP stays up to date with European food safety and hygiene regulations. The company is engaged in continuous research to develop offerings that reflect more mindful eating trends - not only meeting modern nutritional needs but also inspiring curiosity and a desire to discover new flavors. The goal is to deliver products that excite and stand out, with a strong and distinctive identity.
A brand tailored for hospitality and food service
SAP's broad offering meets the needs of both specialty retail and food service professionals looking to provide their customers with a truly Italian experience. With options such as vacuum-sealed packaging, custom cuts, ready-to-use spreads, and pre-cooked items, SAP is a trusted partner for those aiming to expand their product range with premium-quality selections.
Furthermore, the absence of gluten and lactose, together with AIC (Italian Celiac Association) certification, makes SAP products particularly suitable for consumers with food intolerances - a feature increasingly valued in international markets.

For distributors, international importers, retail and HoReCa professionals, SAP represents a strategic opportunity to:
-
Expand your product portfolio with high-quality artisanal cured meats and spreads that are hard to find in mainstream distribution channels.
