Our Story
Eleanor Friedman, a native New Yorker, and her husband, Gianpiero Pepe, a Southern Italian met in Siena, Italy. At that time Eleanor was apprenticing as a butcher and norcino (salumi producer) and Gianpiero was running a local restaurant.
Gianpiero and Eleanor decided to move to New York to be closer to Eleanor’s family. Their dream was to open a small salumeria in the Italo-Tuscan style; to use the techniques learned in Italy, while honoring their home in the Northeast by sourcing local pasture-raised pigs. After an extensive search for the right place for their salumeria, Eleanor and Gianpiero found the perfect location in Hurleyville, NY, a hamlet in the Catskills that allows them to be closer to the farmers they work with.
Our Production, Our Mission, Our Farmers
We make all of our salumi onsite with our own hands. In February of 2021 we began producing under USDA inspection, which allows us to make dry-cured salumi for wholesale and nationwide distribution--in addition to selling our products in our retail store. We work with sustainable farmers, use unadulterated sea salt, ethically sourced spices, and organic wine in our production. Our salumi is made with few ingredients, which is why the sourcing of each one is of the utmost importance to us.
La Salumina’s mission is to offer delicious salumi and to support small farms working sustainably and striving to farm in a regenerative manner. We have found that using pork from these types of farms, along with responsibly sourced spices and pure sea salt, combined with centuries old techniques, yields the best possible product. Our salumi is more often than not single origin (coming from one farm per lot of production) although we will sometimes have a “Northeast Blend” for sausage or salami. Our lots are coded so you can see the farms your products come from!
