About Citterio
Citterio is one of Italy's most respected producers of premium cured meats, with a heritage dating back to 1878. Founded by Giuseppe Citterio in Rho, near Milan, the company has spent nearly 150 years perfecting the art of Italian charcuterie. Today, Citterio is recognised globally for its authentic salumi crafted using traditional methods passed down through generations. The Citterio range available in UK supermarkets showcases the diversity of Italian cured meat traditions. Their Prosciutto Crudo represents the pinnacle of Italian ham-making, air-cured for months to develop its distinctive sweet, delicate flavour. The Tagliofresco and Smoked varieties offer different taste experiences while maintaining the quality standards Citterio is famous for. Their Prosciutto Cotto, the Italian cooked ham, provides a milder option with its characteristic soft texture and subtle seasoning. Beyond traditional pork products, Citterio has expanded to include Italian Chicken Breast Slices and Turkey Breast Slices, offering lighter alternatives without compromising on quality. The Citterino Salami snack packs provide convenient portion-controlled options perfect for lunchboxes or aperitivo platters. What sets Citterio apart is their commitment to authentic Italian production methods. Their curing facilities in Italy follow strict quality controls, using carefully selected meats and traditional recipes. The result is deli meats with genuine Italian character - the marbling, texture, and flavour profiles that distinguish authentic Italian salumi from mass-produced alternatives. For UK shoppers seeking restaurant-quality Italian charcuterie for antipasti boards, sandwich making, or pasta dishes, Citterio represents accessible luxury. Their products are available at major supermarkets, and Grocefully helps you find the best prices across all retailers. Whether you're preparing an authentic Italian spread or simply elevating your everyday sandwiches, Citterio brings over a century of Italian craft to your table.
