La Villa Salumi

La Villa Salumi Making people aware of exceptional small goods. I went out and purchased the cheapest, smallest, smoker I could find. I believe less is more.

Having always loved my smallgoods it was only a matter of time before I tired of the same bland, mass-produced bacon and ventured forth into making it myself. From there I began to experiment with making my own sausages, bacon, ham and more. I even tried smoked pumpkin, though I can’t - with good conscience - say that was a success. My homemade salami skills were gleaned from our old Italian neigh

bour Albert, the older generation, the “nonnos”, carry with them the secrets and traditions of generations past. I then took my passion for pork and all things meat a step further, and made a pilgrimage to Italy to hone my skills with the masters. It was there, in Tuscany, that I completed my Advanced Salumi course, followed closely by the opportunity to be a ‘butcher for a day’ with the porcine master Dario Cecchini at Panzano in Chianti. What I learned from my time in Italy was that preserving meat is no more or less important than preserving tradition. There are only a very few rules that must be followed, though there are myriad versions of the same recipe to be found. I will never grow tired of trying and discussing new ways to preserve meats and improve flavours. Take good produce and do as little as possible to it. It’s not a passion, it’s an obsession.

Biggest love from our littlest fans.

Their mum was buying our smallgoods from us before these two were even born. Now, primary school years later, they’ve written us a goodbye card telling us how much they’ll miss us.

There are a lot of things we’ll remember from the last decade, but moments like this will stay with us forever.

What a privilege it’s been to watch little people grow up alongside our little business.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.
