OUR HISTORY
Since 1925, we’ve been bringing the taste of Italy’s finest charcuterie to your table.
Our story began in a small grocery shop in Correggio, a town nestled in the heart of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. It was there that five brothers — Fiorentino, Francesco, Paolo, Adolfo, and Ugo Veroni — turned their passion for salami-making into a family business, founding F.lli Veroni in 1925.
In just a few years, the company became a benchmark in the Italian market, growing steadily ever since.
From those humble beginnings, Veroni has evolved into a modern, technologically advanced company. Yet we’ve never lost sight of our roots: the art of traditional salumi-making continues to be passed down through generations, preserving time-honored recipes, artisanal techniques, and the values that have shaped us since day one.
