Rovagnati

THE 40’S/50’S - FAMILY FIRST

It all began with butter production and cheese trading. Just after the end of WWII, a young Paolo Rovagnati and his father began production and trading of basic food essentials. And the journey began…

THE 60’S  - A SLICE OF TRUST

During the economic boom, Paolo convinced his father to produce charcuterie. He was convinced that by studying and trying out new production methods they could achieve high quality, even in cooked ham, which used to be considered an inferior product.

1985 - GRAN BISCOTTO: NICE TO EAT YOU

And so the Gran Biscotto was born, recognized at first glance from other hams thanks to Paolo Rovagnati’s ingenious idea of “branding” the Gran Biscotto name into the rind.
