produttori — Valsamoggia · Emilia-Romagna
Among the hills of Bazzano, in the heart of Valsamoggia, La Carneria di Nicola Marotta is a gourmet butcher's shop where selecting meat becomes a precise craft: prized cuts, Wagyu and artisanal preparations that speak, every day, from behind the counter, of a passion handed down through the trade.
Only what passes a rigorous selection reaches the marble counter: top-quality meat chosen among the finest cuts available, with a particular fondness for fiorentina steaks and tagliate. The raw material comes from the local territory, sought out with the same care an artisan uses in choosing wood before setting to work.
Nicola's hands know every fibre: the butchering is done by hand, with the competence of someone who has turned a trade into a calling. Customers recognise it — "every cut is chosen with care, worked with skill and recommended with a competence that only someone who truly loves their work can offer" — and they come back.
Alongside the fresh cuts, the shelf holds the house's own gastronomic preparations: bombette, sausage with rocket and tomatoes, slices already prepared for tartare. Dishes designed to bring the butcher's work to the table without giving up on artisanal quality. A gastronomy born at the counter, and faithful to it.
The shopfront at Via Mazzini 8 is open to anyone looking for real meat. The page tells the story of every cut and every preparation.
