For us at Rigamonti, the quality of raw materials comes first. To produce our Bresaolas, we choose only the noblest cuts of the best meats available in the world, mainly coming from South America, United States, Europe, and Italy.

Then, we add an ancient and traditional know-how passed on through generations, made of the typical craft works of its birthplace: Valtellina. The encounter between excellent meats coming from different parts of the world and Valtellina tradition creates several and different products in terms of organoleptic profile and taste: from Bresaola della Valtellina PGI to Black Angus Bresaola and to 100% Italian meat Bresaola.

We only choose those suppliers, abattoirs and breeding farms providing specific traceability assurances complying with Italian and European Laws. We share formal agreements with our suppliers obliging them to demonstrate the traceability of animals. Moreover, we visit the companies and breeding farms we import meat from, and our supply chain is certified by CSQA, an independent body among the most important at international level, which also certificates the most important Italian PGIs and PDOs. This way we can ensure the compliance with the absolute excellence standards that characterize us and with the strictest hygienic and quality standards.

Since 2015, our experts have been doing regular audits to assess the traceability of the heads of livestock and to certify them as BAPA: “Bovini Allevati al Pascolo e all’Aperto” (Free-range and Grass-fed Bovines). This standard certifies that all animals are free-range, free to graze in huge areas, and fed only with grass for at least 18 months and then with selected and controlled fodder. This certification is released by CSQA and we obtained it due to the raw materials used to produce Bresaola della Valtellina PGI and Carpaccio di Bresaola.

Moreover, following an agreement with Coldiretti, to boost the growth of a local quality supply chain, we were the first who produced, in 2017, a Bresaola made with the best meat from bovines born, bred, butchered and cut in Italy. Rigamonti 100% Italian meat Bresaola is the unique with CSQA certified traceability in all phases of the supply chain and was born from the food culture deeply rooted in our valleys to offer the taste and quality of a Made in Italy product. The Rigamonti 100% Italian Bresaola is a project aimed at supporting Italian breeding farms by using all the available national raw materials to produce Bresaola. That is also why our company is part of Filiera Italia Association.

The free-range and grass-fed breeding allows animals to live in harmony with the environment, in physical and mental well-being: they can act naturally, re-discover their habits, choose the best food for them, their quality and their meat.
