Rovagnati has reached another goal as part of its commitment to continuous improvements in the nutritional quality of its cured meats.
Naturals – with no added nitrites – is the first ever full line of cured meats using 100% natural ingredients and no preservatives.
The Naturals line uses natural derivatives that are 100% nitrite & nitrate free. Thanks to their synergy, the result is a totally healthy product, with the same safety guarantees as one treated with nitrites.
Unique technology. International patent pending
Rovagnati has been able to eliminate nitrites completely thanks to its development of a unique and highly innovative technology, a project that has seen it working alongside several universities and animal science institutes throughout Italy for more than two years. An international patent application has been filed. Approved by the competent authorities, this new technology lets Rovagnati produce products free of nitrite additives.
Good for you, good for the environment.
A complete range of tasty, healthy and fair products as they are made with natural ingredients, respect for the environment and the animal welfare.
All the ingredients are completely natural - from field to fork - and processed to a minimum without any chemical adjuvants or additives.
Our product transformation processes are totally natural and harmless, such as steaming (cooked ham), hot air cooking (Mortadella), and curing at controlled temperatures and humidity (salami and raw ham).
Guaranteeing high quality products has always been our top priority
Our cured meats bring a long history of love, passion and precision to the table. With the new Traceability project, our customers can follow the entire supply chain of our charcuterie products from farm to table. Purchasing trays from the Naturals line provides immediate access to a variety of product information such as where the ingredients come from, how the livestock were raised and processed, how the final product was made, the quality controls performed, and suggestions for optimal consumption at home.
ROVAGNATI NATURALS offers a delightful experience of italian charcuterie.
Rovagnati is the Italian leader in charcuterie production thanks to its renowned expertise in selecting and processing the best raw materials to create products with unique taste and flavor.
HEALTHY
Rovagnati Naturals is entirely made with natural ingredients and aims to ensure the highest nutritional value and food safety.
The pigs come from farms where antibiotics are prohibited from birth to slaughter.
If antibiotic therapy is required, it is administered but the pigs are then immediately removed from the Antibiotic Free program.
Antibiotics are not administered in any way, not even through dietary intake: fodder production is controlled by the Ministry of Agriculture and the entire farming process is supervised by Baltic Control, a body controlled by DANAK, which carries out unannounced audits.
Preventive drug administration is therefore prohibited in all cases: this means that the pigs are provided with ideal environmental conditions in order to prevent infectious diseases. It also ensures that consumers can eat meat without potential traces of antibiotics and therefore without the risk of developing resistance to antibiotics, which is an ever more important aspect of our health.
In our Naturals line of cooked hams, mortadella and salami we use natural derivatives that are 100% nitrite & nitrate free. The result of their synergy is a totally healthy product, with the same safety guarantees as one treated with nitrites.
With the help of just Mother Nature, you can be assured of safe and strictly controlled food.
None of the natural ingredients used for producing cooked hams, mortadellas and salamis derive from genetically modified farming.
In addition to declarations made by producers, Rovagnati carries out research on GMO markers for all its raw materials to safeguard consumers who know about GMO.
Rovagnati would like to extend the GMO-free policy to the supply chain of pig fodder used for its Naturals range as soon as possible.
ROVAGNATI NATURALS promotes sustainability, respect for the animal welfare and the environment.
