Capitelli

Capitelli, based in the province of Piacenza, is renowned for the production and sale of cooked and smoked cured meats, which stand out for the careful selection of the various types of meat used and for the specialized processing techniques, positioning them as one of Italy’s food excellences. Capitelli cured meats are distributed throughout Italy both in the “Ho.Re.Ca.” sector and through traditional retailers and a growing number of large-scale retail outlets. The flagship of the company’s production is the San Giovanni cooked ham, created in 1994 by Capitelli and today unanimously recognised as the precursor of the so-called “cooked out-of-mould” production line. San Giovanni is the only cooked ham to have obtained the highest recognition (“5 pins”) in all six editions of the Guida Salumi d’Italia, the first sector guide created with the aim of cataloguing and describing Italian high-quality cured meats.

Italmobiliare invested in Capitelli in December 2019.
