History & Origin

Golfetta came to light in 1989. It was inspired by a visionary butcher from Ferrara, Italy, who sought to create a premium salami using only lean pork leg meat. He presented his idea to Golfera, a company renowned for its commitment to quality and tradition, leading to the development of this unique salami. The name “Golfetta” is derived from Golfera + fetta (Italian for slice), resulting as a slice of Golfera. During the official launch in 1990, it won the Oscar for Innovation at Cibus, a prestigious international food exhibition. Today, Golfetta remains Italy’s best-selling salami.
