1850: Our Origin
Oliviero's family has been in the salumi world forever. His grandfather was already making salami in Norcia, Italy and then his father, and now him.
A fourth-generation salumi family.
Over 170 years of delicious history.
Passed down over four generations, we’ve perfected the art of curing meat to deliver an authentic Italian experience in every bite.

His great grandfather moved to Rome to bring his trade into a bigger market opening salumi stores throughout Rome.
1950: Building the Future
In 1950 his grandfather started a manufacturing business that became one of the most successful salumi business in Rome.
1978: Enter Oliviero
Oliviero was born and raised in Rome into a family of salumi makers. As a boy, Olli spent plenty of time at his grandfather’s prosciutto and salami factories, and by an early age he picked up a lot of knowledge about how to cure various meats.
2000: Family Business

2010: Olli Salumeria
Ten years later, Olli decided to start his own company in Virginia, Olli Salumeria, and there began the journey which leads to today. When we began, the only item we produced was chubs, the most common salami in the market at the time.

2015: Go West
Olli Salumeria moved to Oceanside California to expand the company and products to an 100,000 sq ft facility producing over 100,000 lbs of salami a week and expand nationwide.

2023: Preservative Free
Olli launched the first truly preservative-free salami in their Chubs and Salamini lines. This is an industry first that delivers pure products with no additives and no loss of freshness—just clean, honest flavors.
