Principe Introduces Time-Honored Italian Meats Crafted with Centuries of Tradition

COLUMBIA, MO. – Principe, a trailblazer in the world of gourmet cuisine, is proud to announce the launch of its exquisite range of specialty Italian meats produced in the United States. Elevating the culinary experience with a touch of old-world charm, Principe brings the rich and authentic flavors of Italy to American connoisseurs.

From the picturesque landscapes of Italy to your dining table, Principe is committed to delivering an unparalleled gastronomic journey. The brand’s meticulously curated selection of artisanal meats, including prosciutto, salame, coppa, and pancetta, is a testament to centuries-old Italian traditions and craftsmanship.

Key Highlights of Principe’s Specialty Italian Meats:

  • Artisanal Excellence: Each slice embodies the artistry and passion of Italian master craftsmen, ensuring a sensory experience that transports you to the heart of Italy.
  • Premium Quality: Principe sources only the finest, high-quality ingredients, using only whole muscle pork in its dry-cured products, guaranteeing an authentic taste that captures the essence of Italian culinary heritage.
  • Variety and Innovation: Principe presents a diverse range of flavors and textures, from the velvety smoothness of prosciutto to the bold and robust notes of aged soppressata. Principe is not just a brand; it’s a celebration of culinary tradition.
  • State of the Art Drying Rooms and Automation: Combined with proprietary starter cultures, Principe’s advanced technology is produced with the highest safety standards in a new modern facility.

Present in the US since 2003 with our imported fine products, Principe marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey to share the love for authentic Italian cuisine with a new portfolio produced domestically. The launch event will take place at the Winter Fancy Food Show January 21-23, 2024, where attendees will have the opportunity to savor the flavors, meet the makers, and immerse themselves in the rich heritage that defines Principe.

The launch will be supported with a robust consumer marketing campaign that redefines the art of salumi, both in presentation and in occasion. Unlike any other line of salumi, Principe celebrates with style and modernity not yet seen in the category. Modern and vibrant, Principe will reveal an indulgent and sensory experience with color, artistry, and seasonal flavor appeal.
