Lonza - 1.5kg apx

Lonza

Quattro Stelle’s Lonza is a traditional Italian-style cured pork loin, expertly salted, seasoned, and air-dried for three months. It is crusted in an attractive and flavourful spice mix, featuring whole fennel seeds and chilli flakes, which enhance its aromatic depth and gentle warmth. The result is a lean yet richly flavoured charcuterie, with a delicate, slightly sweet taste and a silky, firm texture.

Thinly sliced, Lonza is perfect for charcuterie boards, antipasti platters, or layering into sandwiches. Its clean, nuanced flavour also makes it a standout when paired with crusty bread, fresh figs, or aged cheeses.

About the Producer

Quattro Stelle is a Sydney-based artisan producer with a rich heritage rooted in traditional Italian butchery and charcuterie. The legacy began in the 1850s when Antonio Sgro’s great-great-grandfather, Francesco Nicastri, and his brother Giovanni opened a "macelleria" (butcher shop) in Castiglione, Calabria, Italy. This family-run establishment, known as "La Chianca," was passed down through generations until its closure during World War II.

Seeking better opportunities, the Nicastri family emigrated to Australia, bringing with them their passion for traditional Italian salumi. Although they did not reopen a butcher shop, they continued crafting these cherished products for family and friends. In 2006, at the age of 23, Antonio Sgro founded Quattro Stelle, aiming to revive and perfect the long-lost art of salumi making passed down through his family.

Today, Quattro Stelle is renowned among Australia's top salumi manufacturers, celebrated for its dedication to authenticity, quality, and innovation. Their products set a high standard in the food industry, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and tradition that continues to influence and inspire others.
