Furlotti & C. in Medesano: Parma's Cured Meat Tradition Since 1963

Furlotti & C. is a historic cured meat producer based in Medesano, in the province of Parma. Founded in 1963, the company has grown in the heart of one of Italy's most important areas for traditional charcuterie.

Over the decades, Furlotti has developed from a local producer into a modern food company while maintaining a strong connection with Parma's cured meat tradition.

A Story That Began in Medesano

The company's story began in 1963, when Giacomo Furlotti and Camillo Utini established the original business in Medesano.

Early production focused on traditional cured meats, including pancetta, Coppa di Parma and seasoned pork loin.

As demand increased, the company expanded its production facilities and gradually introduced new products and processing technologies.

Pancetta and Traditional Cured Meats

Pancetta has become one of the products most closely associated with the Furlotti name.

Alongside traditional whole cured meats, the company has developed convenient formats designed for modern kitchens, professional catering and food manufacturing.

These include diced products, sticks, portions and other ready-to-use formats.

Sliced and Ready-to-Use Products

Furlotti has also invested in the production of pre-sliced cured meats.

Modern processing and packaging lines allow the company to offer products in different formats for retail, food service and professional customers.

Coppa di Parma PGI

Among the specialties that most strongly connect Furlotti with its home territory is Coppa di Parma PGI.

This traditional cured meat is one of the symbols of Parma's charcuterie culture and reflects the experience developed in the area over generations.

Parma Ham PDO

The Furlotti group is also connected with the production of Parma Ham PDO through a dedicated facility in Langhirano.

This has expanded the company's range while strengthening its connection with some of Parma's best-known gastronomic specialties.

Tradition and Technology

Furlotti combines traditional cured meat expertise with modern industrial technology.

Production lines dedicated to slicing, portioning and dicing allow the company to serve different markets while maintaining its roots in Medesano.

Furlotti and the Parma Food Valley

Furlotti's history is closely connected with Medesano.

The company was founded here and has expanded its activities while remaining part of the local economic landscape.

It is a good example of how Parma's Food Valley combines traditional knowledge with modern food production and an increasingly international market.
