About the Producer

Girolamo is Fino’s in-house brand for locally made and imported foods with an Italian heritage. The name "Girolamo" pays homage to Father Girolamo “Jerome” Davadi, born in 1845 in Le Marche, Italy, who immigrated to Australia and became the first Italian Catholic priest in the rural town of Stanthorpe, Queensland. Father Davadi played a pivotal role in fostering grape cultivation, winemaking, and Italian culinary traditions in the region. His efforts helped establish the vibrant Italian culture that continues to thrive in Stanthorpe today.

For many years, Fino has proudly sponsored the Home-Made Salami and Olive Competition at the Stanthorpe Show—one of the longest-running events of its kind in Australia. This competition celebrates the region’s strong Italian community and its enduring culinary traditions.
