About San Giuseppe Salami Co

Giacomo and Laura Santomauro both grew up surrounded by authentic Italian food. For Giacomo, the son of Italian American immigrants, it was a reality that was hard to avoid: his father owned several restaurants on Long Island and as a true family business, all of his children were expected to pitch in from a young age, including Giacomo, the youngest sibling. In 1999, sensing a need and following a passion, Giacomo and his wife Laura scraped together everything they had, drove a loaned deli slicer down from his father's deli on Long Island, and started a small market in Greensboro, Nc: Giacomo’s Italian Market. Recognizing an even broader need for high quality Italian meats and specialty products, Giacomo expanded his production into a modest USDA-inspected production facility in nearby Elon, North Carolina and in 2007, Giacomo launched the San Giuseppe Salami Co. Currently, San Giuseppe Salami Co. is available on the shelves of more than 300 retailers in 14 states. Even though San Giuseppe Salami Co. has grown a bit from our small strip-mall start, we're still a small, modest company, with many of our products being produced and packaged by hand. Our mission has always been clear: to bring authentic, high-quality products right to the table of families like yours. Today, that mission remains unchanged; we're still as passionate as ever about sourcing the best ingredients and creating products that you can trust. Read their story
