WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
Inspection of the production chain, selection of breeds, ancient recipes, earnest choice of ingredients and natural “rhythms”. The challenge of Levoni is that of combining warranties and industrial safety standards with the accuracy and passion towards the product which is typical of the craftsman processes.
The pig processing is only the last link in a production chain that starts with the study of the best breed. This is possible thanks to the establishment of a structure of excellence with the partner Sereni more than 50 years ago, where the genetics of the animals is analysed to ensure the quality of breeders and piglets, as well as their diet and growth environment. Equally important is the slaughter stage, which Levoni entrusts to Mec Carni slaughterhouse - one of the most advanced factories in this field, where every week about 13 thousand heads of cattle pass through, out of which 30% is dispatched to Levoni. The care in the selection and proper amount of the ingredients is also a true feather in Levoni production’s cap. Spices and herbs are ground and processed right in-house just before being added to the mixture. Every product respects very precise baking, smoking, curing and maturation periods, for a final top-quality result.

Why are Levoni deli meats “Quelli Buoni” (“the Good Ones”)? First of all because the raw material is “the good one”. And that is a guarantee, because the Levoni family’s commitment to quality does not just involve making their deli meats, it starts much earlier than that. The careful choice of raw materials is a critical step to ensure a good product. Levoni selects only the highest quality raw materials, and their own researchers play a direct role in studying pig genetics. Raising the finest pig breeds is closely monitored at the Cavriana farm. And it goes without saying that Levoni’s high quality standards are equally strictly applied to all the other farms selected as their suppliers.
In order to safeguard the punctuality and efficiency of the deliveries, Levoni supplies almost the entire Northern Italy and partly Central Italy with its own vehicles. In the remaining areas, Levoni entrusts qualified and fast couriers to guarantee the products delivery in the best storage conditions and within quick, regular times.
Over the decades and at the same speed of the sales system development, the company has benefited from the improvement of the logistic processes, entrusting vehicles and drivers with an increasingly punctual and efficient distribution to the customer.
We know that responsibility forms the basis of any relationship of trust. To guarantee those who choose our Levoni only-the-most-excellent deli meats, we are committed to prioritising quality and Italianness at all costs. It is a decision we make transparent for everyone. The Levoni Group has implemented a Quality Management System in order to guarantee the high quality of their deli meats.
