COMPANY. In Novellara, in the lower part of Reggiana, between Via Emilia and the Po, a land that has always been rooted in peasant culture and pig breeding, the Bartoli family founded the BBS salami factory in 1973. The pigs, coming from small traditional farms, are slaughtered in the internal slaughterhouse to avoid unnecessary stress on the pigs and the meat. The processes are those typical of the area (salami, coppa, bacon, cooked salami), while the ham and culatello are entrusted to Parma companies. With the acquisition of the Bidinelli salami factory in Correggio in 2009, specialized in the production of mortadella, the company was able to expand the range of salami, always respecting tradition and quality.
PRODUCTS. A slice of tradition for the classic mortadella, with a reassuring soft pink dress dotted with peppercorns. Nose of great delicacy, of cooked pork, broth and a slight nuance of noble wood. On the palate a caress of honey, umami, light spiciness, aromatic herbs and a fine floral aftertaste. Typically juicy finish on a large velvety texture. In the mortadella with truffles, the scorzone, skilfully dosed and visible in coarse pieces, gives the cured meat a skilful balance with the raw material: it characterizes the nose, marrying the cooked meat and the spices, completes the flavour, creating a surprising taste-olfactory balance, with its crunchiness it amplifies the succulence, already excellent, of the structure. Pistachio and peppercorns peep into the rosy mixture of a traditional mortadella. Clean, typical and delicate nose, and equally delicacy on the palate, the company's stylistic trademark, which favors a gentle structure with a classic imprint.
