The sacred art of salumi making
Generations of Puopolo artisans have honed their skills, meticulously passing down secrets and techniques to ensure our salumi is unmatched. Each step in our process is performed with precision and care, transforming our salumi into a labour of love.
Our ingredients
Puopolo proudly partners with local family farmers to source premium ingredients, with our artisan range featuring 100% Australian pork and our halal range featuring halal-certified beef and chicken. For select foodservice and retail products, imported ingredients complement our commitment to delivering exceptional flavour and quality.
Master butchers
Every morning, fresh pork arrives for in-house processing. Our skilled butchers hand-cut whole carcasses, upholding traditional methods and ensuring full control over sourcing. Unlike competitors, we proudly craft products from carefully selected cuts, never pre-processed meat.
Unmatched flavour
Our herbs and spices are hand-selected and mixed in-house, never pre-made. This ensures peak freshness and allows us full control over flavours, delivering unmatched taste in every carefully crafted product.
Handmade to perfection
From whole animal butchery to hand-tied curing, our commitment to age-old, hands-on methods ensures every product is crafted with care and meets the highest standard of quality.
Crafted with care
Hand-tied and hand-seasoned, our curing process skips heat treatment, preserving traditional quality. We manually test water content and taste every batch, ensuring each product meets our artisanal standards before it reaches your table.
Age-old methods
At Puopolo, tradition guides every step of our process. We use hand-selected ingredients, heritage spice blends, and Italian-imported mould. Our curing process involves slow fermentation, traditional dry aging, and meticulous low-and-slow maturation. This dedication delivers unmatched flavours, celebrating time-honoured methods and ensuring every product is a testament to authentic craftsmanship.
