Puopolo tastings coming to a store near you!
We’re very lucky to be having Charlie from smallgoods maker Puopolo visit us in November to share some deliciously authentic Italian-style smallgoods with you.
Puopolo is a family-owned, Australian-made brand built on slow-curing perfection done the Italian way, unrushed, with patience and trust in an age-old tradition imported to Australia when Vitangelo Puopolo emigrated to Australia in the 1960s.
By 1978 he and his sons Nick and Chris began crafting top-quality deli products in a small butcher’s shop in Geelong, bringing the tastes of their home to a new audience who loved them so much, that by the 1990s they began operations at a larger facility in Laverton outside of Melbourne. Nick’s sons Vito and Michael, who grew up in the family business, launched Artisan Salumi in 2015, focussing on premium small-batch smallgoods. Today the brand is stocked in 500 retailers nationwide, including Hill Street.
Puopolo’s range includes 200g salamis – Finocchiona, Cacciatore in mild and hot, and Hungarian, their 100g sliced salami range - Sopressa, Cassalingo and Hungarian, as well as their traditional Mortadella, pepper and plain. Watch out for Charlie and taste true Italian craftsmanship in-store this November at Hill Street!
