Oberto’s Italian Charcuterie & Bavarian Meats!

Oberto’s founder, Constantino Oberto (1889-1943), an Italian immigrant, began selling hand-made Italian sausages in 1918 from a small shop in South Seattle. 101 year later, the brand is reintroducing AUTHENTIC Italian charcuterie from Felino, Italy to the United States.

Oberto Charcuterie features Grana Padano cheese which is a certified and protected product designation by the Italian Consortium. It is aged for 12 months, resulting in a premium, hard crumbly texture.

Provolone and Fontinello Cheeses in Oberto Charcuterie trays are made with 100% Italian milk collected every day from farms within 50 miles of the production site.

In addition, its prosciutto is made with only 2 ingredients: pork and salt and is aged for a minimum of one year. Its salame is dry cured for 80 days, never heat-treated, to render a less acidic product, resulting in a sweeter taste and aroma.
