PORTLAND, ME—Rogers Collection proudly introduces the newest additions to our catalog, GOLFERA Italian mortadella and GOLFERA Braceri (grilled/cooked ham with herbs). GOLFERA mortadella and Braceri, are now available for the first time ever in the U.S. market at select specialty retail shops across the country. Representatives from GOLFERA, a family owned and operated company, will kick off their official entry to the U.S. marketplace at Rogers Collection’s booth #2450 during the June 2016 Summer Fancy Food Show in New York.
Rogers Collection is importing three types of GOLFERA mortadella: with and without pistachio, and mortadella with black and white truffle shavings (not oil). Rogers Collection and GOLFERA partnered together based on their shared commitment to high quality standards.
GOLFERA was founded in the early 1960s in the small and ancient village of Lavezzola in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region (near Bologna). Lavezzola has always embodied a long-standing bond between food and landscape and is famous for traditional Italian charcuterie. GOLFERA maintains complete control over their production chain. This starts with animal welfare, humane feeding and breeding and no antibiotic use after the third month of an animal’s life. Each step leading up to the production process, occurs within a few kilometers GOLFERA’s Lavezzola facility resulting in the lowest possible environmental impact. They source their pork from a single farm of Italian born pigs to make a dedicated production exclusively for Rogers Collection.
GOLFERA guarantees full cycle traceability and technical production know-how. Their mortadella’s and cooked hams are made with genuine “clean” labels, meaning free of dairy, gluten, monosodium glutamate, nitrates and nitrites. The mortadella's pistachios are Sicilican and the black truffle is from Bologna, both ingredients strictly Italian sourced. Likewise, GOLFERA uses only fresh, high quality cuts of shoulder meat (no tripe or lesser cuts), fat from the neck of the animal, and warm spices to achieve superior taste.
GOLFERA is committed to sustainable production. It draws 100 percent of its electricity needs from renewable sources and has developed eco-friendly packaging with low environmental impact for its products. Each GOLFERA shipment for Rogers Collection is made to order and guaranteed fresh.
At GOLFERA, tradition and innovation come together.
