Corsican PDO cold meats - Porcu nustrale in Loreto-di-Casinca

François Albertini was initiated by his father since he was born about cold meats production, he took over the familial tradition by elaborating Corsican PDO quality cold meats for 29 years.

The breeder producer holds his delicatessen located in the village Loreto-di-Casinca. Corsican pigs farm, “porcu nustrale”breed, grows up in an environment with oaks and chestnuts, with 150 pigs just fed by chestnuts and acorns for a part of the year.

Meticulous in every stage of production, François Albertini opens the doors of his establishment where figatelli, sausages, hams, head cheese and other traditional Corsican delicacies, but also blood pudding and an excellent “pâté de porc” are refined.

Each room plays a special role. For instance, the figatelli is refined thanks to chimney fires. Everything is carefully sorted and organised.

Only by François Albertini the escaping smell of an authentic pig farms where traditional cold meats are produced can escape. Everybody guesses the know-how and the work necessary to reach this quality.
