Soave ham factory: tradition and craftsmanship a stone's throw from Verona
The excellences of the Soave Prosciuttificio
Favored by a fortunate geophysical combination and a particularly mild and breezy climate, located at the foot of the Soave hills and caressed by a light breeze, the historic company of the Masconale family has always been appreciated for its cured meats and its top quality meats. .
The artisan plant was expanded in 1980 in order to devote itself to the curing of pieces of whole meat including raw hams, speck and lard following the old tradition handed down by grandfather Piero, precursor of the business. Over the years, the knowledge of grandfather Piero, precursor of the activity, has been transmitted to four different generations, first to his son Carmelo and then to Marco Masconal, the current owner of the ham factory together with his son Luca who put into practice the teachings based on an artisanal workmanship as in the past, make the products of valuable and refined workmanship.
