A Muratinca is a family-run Corsican PDO charcuterie business in Murato, in the Haut-Nebbiu region. Since 1954, the Borragini family has carried on the tradition of raising pigs and processing and aging charcuterie on the hills above the village. Today, Pierre Borragini and Cécilia carry on this tradition, specializing in the production of AOP coppa, lonzu, and prisuttu. The products are available for purchase directly at L'Attellu di u Centru, a butcher shop and grocery store located in the heart of Murato, or by mail order upon request.

A Muratinca offers a range of artisanal Corsican charcuterie, including:

• Corsican sausage (salciccia)

Figatellu, another iconic specialty of Corsican charcuterie, is produced during the winter season, depending on availability.

Retail location in L'Attellu: butcher shop and grocery store in downtown Murato

In the center of the village, Pierre and Cécilia run L'Attellu di u Centru, a neighborhood store where you'll find A Muratinca charcuterie. Open year-round, every day—including Sunday mornings—the shop serves as a staple for Murato residents while also introducing Corsican products to tourists and visitors passing through the village.

In addition to the artisanal AOP A Muratinca charcuterie, L'Attellu offers fresh meat, prepared meals, bread, pastries, cheeses, wine, and a selection of Corsican products. You'll also find A Muratinca canistrelli there, made by Cécilia.

In step with the festive calendar, L'Attellu prepares traditional and exclusive pastries for specific dates such as May 8—the village festival celebrating Saint Michael—or All Saints' Day with Salviate (bread of the dead), as well as for Christmas and Easter.

Family-run farm in the hills above Murato, since 1954

The history of the A Muratinca charcuterie is closely tied to that of the Borragini family. Joseph Borragini carried on the family's expertise, which he passed on to his son Pierre, who is now in charge of pig farming and charcuterie production. Cécilia, for her part, handles logistics, communications, and sales at L'Attellu.

The farm is located on the hills above Murato, at an elevation of about 700 meters, in a forest of oak, chestnut, arbutus, and ferns. The pigs are raised outdoors and feed primarily on acorns and chestnuts during the finishing period. Breeding, processing, and curing are all carried out on-site, in accordance with the production methods for Corsican PDO charcuterie.

Listed by the Route des Sens, A Muratinca has been producing AOP-certified charcuterie since 2017.
