In addition to the breeding farms managed directly by our family, we can count on a network of more than 30 farmers in agistment spread throughout Northern Italy who help us every day to respect the regulations and self-imposed parameters of the Fumagalli supply chain. They are our strength and we are their strength because by doing so we support animal husbandry.
Fumagalli pigs are born and raised on our farms. This ensures us complete and detailed traceability that cannot be equalled. We thus gather much more data on each production batch: from the animal’s birth to packaging.
We do not take this lightly. On our farms, the pigs do not have their teeth removed or tails cut off, they enjoy far more space per head than the regulations imposed by the European Community, and they are raised on high-quality vegetable feed. In addition, their welfare is monitored 24 hours a day thanks to special monitoring units.

Over time, we have obtained the most important certifications from the most prestigious bodies. The certification in reference to Standard DT 040, which characterises the products of this line, is the one that gratifies us the most, because guaranteeing the high standard of animal welfare in our farms, the 100% Italian character of our supply chain (from heredity to the finished product) and the responsible use of drugs, unequivocally testify to our values.
From the welfare of sows to an honourable mention by the European Community as an example of best practice, discover on our website all the awards we have won over the years.
