The Production Process

From the selection of raw materials to the shipment of the finished product, every stage of the process is monitored in real time.
Integrated management enables traceability, quality control and food safety, with advanced technologies and specialised personnel.

 

1

Selection of raw materials

Quality starts at the source.
The process begins with the careful selection of meat, handled by staff with decades of experience. Only the finest cuts of pork are used, chosen to ensure a genuine and tasty final product.

2

Deboning, trimming and grinding

Only the best parts.
The meat is deboned by hand and excess fat is removed to retain only the best, leanest and most prized cuts. It is then finely minced using state-of-the-art grinding equipment, preserving its quality and nutritional properties.

3

Mixing and flavourings

Tradition and balance.
The meat is mixed with salt, pepper, natural spices, cubes of fat and, if desired, pistachios.

 

4

Bagging and tying

By hand, where necessary.
The mixture is stuffed into natural or cellulose casings. Semi-automatic machines ensure precision, but some stages remain artisanal, such as manual tying.

5

Slow cooking

Time and heat, the recipe for perfect flavour.
Mortadella is cooked slowly in dry hot air ovens. Cooking times vary depending on the size of the piece (e.g. 20 hours for a 30 kg mortadella) and are managed by advanced software. After cooking, the mortadellas are cooled with jets of vaporised water to preserve their structure and hygiene.

6

Vacuum packaging

Protezione e freschezza.
La mortadella viene confezionata sottovuoto per preservarne freschezza e sapore. L’etichettatura finale ne garantisce tracciabilità completa: dalla carne alla tavola.

 

The Taste of Artisanship

Laboratorio Felsineo

 

The Laboratorio Felsineo is a place dedicated to the production of excellence.

It is a place unlike the usual processing rooms: here, manual skills and slowness prevail over industrial processes, and technology is deeply linked to tradition and our origins.

A modern, cutting-edge space that tells the story of our history and roots, where mortadella in their natural rind with the brand Laboratorio Felsineo are cased and tied by hand before being transferred to the ovens for slow cooking.
