At the beginning of the 60s Nerino Mezzaluna decided to implement his business idea:
transforming and commercializing the meat of the pigs of his own domestic breeding.
It was a small family farm, this work was typically seasonal, in fact it was carried out only in the winter as in those days there were no cold cells or refrigerators necessary for the maintenance of the meat.
PASSION for the artisan product and QUALITY ORIENTED approach: these are the basic values underneath the family MEZZALUNA business.
Moving between advanced technology and fidelity to the traditions and flavors of the Marche region, the Salumificio Mezzaluna works daily to offer consumers products with a unique and inimitable taste, generated from a skilful union of raw materials and selected ingredients, skills and corporate values.
The Mezzaluna family has always believed in the importance of communicating with the maximum transparency informing the consumer about the quality of products and processes.
The company's energies have always been directed towards the search for quality to guarantee consumers and customers, and as a commitment to improving production processes and support to clientele.
By adopting the principles of attention to work and respect for the environment, it pursues sustainable development in every aspect of its business, also in terms of organizing production processes, minimization of environmental impact and potential risks present on site Work.
SALUMIFICIO MEZZALUNA works daily to ensure customer's satisfaction through a rigorous selection of. raw material and an accurate internal production process, from choosing the meats to the packaged product.
The quality department carries out control action on all company procedures and on the conformity of products, it also makes use of an external certified analysis laboratory, equipped with modern structures and highly specialized personnel.
