About us
A family farm in the heart of the Ticino Park
Azienda Agricola Cirenaica is the crop and pig farm of brothers Sandro and Giampietro Passerini in Robecchetto con Induno. We are part of the Parco Ticino – Controlled Production brand, our farm is registered and approved by the Parma Ham Consortium, and our salumi are made in our own EC-approved artisan salumificio.
Our goal is environmental and social sustainability at every stage: we farm our fields with integrated agriculture, raise our animals with respect for their needs, follow simple recipes true to tradition, and pay attention to energy saving right through to waste disposal.
We also look after what risks disappearing: Scagliolo maize, an ancient non-hybrid variety, and the Varzese-Ottonese-Tortonese cattle breed, now endangered.
All our salumi are hand-stuffed in natural casings, with no lactose and no chemical additives.
Our supply chain
From field to table, without changing hands
Every stage of production is managed on the farm and nothing is outsourced. That is why we know the origin of everything we sell.
We grow
About 5 hectares of winter cereals, farmed with integrated agriculture. Most of the harvest feeds our own animals.
We raise
Pigs on straw bedding and Varzese cattle, fed without GMOs and without meat or fish meal.
We craft
In our EC-approved salumificio: butchering, processing, stuffing in natural casings, drying and curing.
We sell
Directly in our farm shop. A short supply chain, zero kilometres.

Space, straw and time
Our pigs come from selected crosses between several breeds: lean, flavourful meat, low in cholesterol and particularly suited to salting and curing the great Italian salumi.
After weaning, the pigs live in pens with straw bedding and, from five months, in small groups of eight. More space for each animal and the freedom to root, explore and chew: a less stressful environment that takes more work and more land, but makes all the difference.
Their feed is made of maize, barley, wheat, field peas, soy, bran, vitamin and mineral supplements and dairy by-products, balanced by age, weight and season. No meat or fish meal, no GMOs.

The Varzese, an ancient breed worth saving
Alongside our pigs we raise cattle of the ancient Varzese breed: little meat, but of outstanding quality, very lean and rich in iron. They eat only forage, cereals and pulses grown by us.

What people say
In the words of our visitors
I have visited the farm several times and the meat is excellent. You can visit the animals, both pigs and cows. They have a small shop where you can buy excellent cuts of meat. If you are passing by, you simply have to taste their salumi!
If you want to eat natural food, this is definitely the best place to buy it: they are breeders and growers who work with care and passion.
They raise pigs and all the salumi are made from these animals. Excellent, far better than anything else on the market!
I find them an excellent supplier because they combine (excellent!!) product quality with the logic of a short supply chain.
Excellent local products here. The scaramella and cotechino are superb. Kind and friendly people.
