Paolo Bertelli

Paolo has always had a dream: to preserve his family’s recipes while creating something truly his own. It all began with Giuseppe, known as “Bepi,” who mastered the craft and passed it down to his son Paolo, who loved helping in the workshop after school. This passion became an entrepreneurial idea, and in 1988 Paolo founded Bertelli Salumi.
Customers immediately recognized the authentic flavours of the past in the family’s products. The company, initially run by Paolo and his parents, soon expanded: his wife Cinzia joined, followed by his siblings Giancarlo and Daniela. In 2017, Paolo’s second daughter Giulia also entered the business, proudly continuing the family path.
From a small passion-driven venture, Bertelli Salumi has grown into a close-knit team of nine, developing new recipes while honouring the traditions at the heart of their craft.
