VINELAND, NJ. — Rovagnati, a manufacturer of charcuterie products, has expanded its portfolio of cured meat snacks with a new line of nitrite-free salami.

Offerings in the No-Nitrites-Ever series include genoa salami, soppressata, a spicier hot soppressata and finocchiona, all of which were developed using a slow-curing and fermentation process that eliminates the need for added nitrites and improves the natural growth of certain molds. The company has also launched two new antipasto trio packs featuring the No-Nitrites-Ever meats, including one with genoa salami, hot soppressata and provolone cheese, and another with genoa salami, prosciutto crudo and provolone cheese.

“As consumer awareness for high-quality products grows, the demand for healthier alternatives to traditional cold cuts has also increased,” said Giovanni Quattrone, chief executive officer of Rovagnati North America. “Our new No-Nitrites-Ever Salami Line reflects our commitment to offering a safe and delicious product that meets the needs of today's discerning consumers.”
