Prosciuttificio Wolf

Another Sauris specialty is the production of ham and sausages: an art that goes back a long way and which is still important today. All Sauris sausages are smoked, by definition: smoking meat to preserve it longer was an Alpine tradition and knowing how to dose the smoke became fundamental in giving the sausage the right flavour. The butcher Pietro Schneider, who was born in Sauris in 1862, used this traditional method to prepare “Wolf” ham and sausage products up until the 1960s when his grandson Giuseppe Petris decided in to start a fully-fledged company.
