   Our ham factory was founded in 1988 from the thirty years of experience of Aldo Leonardi, a founding partner operating in the slaughtering and processing of pork sector, who was immediately joined by his son Marco. The first office is located in the center of the town in Marano sul Panaro, in a 4-storey factory: the air coming from Mount Cimone and the proximity of the Panaro river allow an initial production capacity of 1000/1500 raw hams per week. In the same year, we become part of the Consortium of Modena Ham "D.O.P".
