Full of flavours that take you on a journey to Italy.
We source the best of South Australian meat from local farmers & markets and then carefully add our touch of Italian herbs and spices.
Our team then cures, ferments and produces our lines slowly, as done by previous generation. We pride ourselves on keeping the original methods and recipes we have cherished for generations. Nino's use the most authentic and natural fermentation techniques to minimise preservatives, and are HACCAP certified, consciously keeping our product as close to nature as it can be.
The flavours have remained the same for generations and continue to have a consistent taste that takes you back to Italy.
