produttori — Bastia Umbra · Umbria
In the heart of Umbria, in Bastia Umbra, a norcineria (traditional pork butchery and curing workshop) and selection shop has worked since 1972 by the same measure: choose well before offering. Umbrian cured meats, cheeses and wines, told by those who have known them from the source.
On the marble counter arrive the legs of free-range pork, raised on grass and acorn: it is from this raw material — chosen with care, never negotiated — that Ciotti Antichi Sapori builds its story. An Umbrian norcineria that has known, since 1972, the difference between a prosciutto and a good prosciutto.
The gesture of the norcineria is slow and precise: cure, refine, wait. Ciotti carries forward a tradition of Umbrian salumeria (cured meat shop) and butchery in which every step has a name and a reason. Not an industrial line, but a craft handed down with the same patience with which a prosciutto crudo matures.
On the shelves the selection takes shape: Umbrian cured meats and cheeses, wine-shop labels, organic products chosen one by one. Ciotti Antichi Sapori does not only sell what it produces: it selects dairy and norcineria excellences by the same standard it applies to its own, building a shop that is also a map of regional taste.
From the window on Via della Repubblica, Ciotti Antichi Sapori opens onto a world of authentic Umbrian flavours. The page tells the whole story.
