History
Owners Stefano Dukcevich and his wife, Carolina, escaped Croatia after World War II and settled in Trieste, Italy, where they learned the process of curing charcuterie.[1] Carolina made pork sausages and Stefano sold them to local restaurants. By the 1950s, Stefano and Carolina had built one of the larger salumerias in Northeast Italy.[2]
