Traditional Corsican charcuterie since 1985 - Video

Jean-Pascal Piazzoli - a farmer who has been producing Corsican farmhouse charcuterie for 37 years - works on the eastern plain in the commune of Linguizzetta, just past Alistro on the way to Aléria, with his wife Marie-Jeanne. They have now been joined by their sons, continuing the family tradition.

The family business was set up by Jean-Pascal's aunt, who retired and entrusted the family business to Jean-Pascal and his wife Marie-Jeanne. Together, they take care of everything from A to Z: rearing, fattening and butchering, with only the slaughtering carried out at the Ponte-Leccia abattoir.

The Piazzoli charcuterie was featured in the Météo à la carte programme on France 3 in February 2021.

Pig farm in the countryside

The farm is made up of 6 sows, 20 piglets, a boar and 80 pork-barrel pigs, all of which live in the Linguizzetta commune in the heart of the countryside.

In production

Marie-Jeanne and Jean-Pascal only produce dry cured meats, including figatellu from December to March, sausages, lonzu, coppa, prizuttu (Corsican ham), panzetta and bulagna, which are sold until the annual production is sold out.

Below are a few images taken during the preparation of figatelli, as well as photos of the different types of salt: prisuttu, lonzu, panzetta and bulagna.

Direct sales - 2024 prices

The Linguizzetta shop is located below the Piazzoli family home. It is open all year round and sells charcuterie directly (subject to availability). Prisuttu and ventre are available to order only.

Charcuterie prices have changed little, and some prices have remained unchanged. Marie-Jeanne and Jean-Pascal have tried to pass on the effects of inflation on their prices as little as possible, by choosing to grow their own cereals, particularly tritical. With the help of their sons, they hope to make a return on this agricultural investment, while at the same time gaining in autonomy given the volatility of food prices.

Bravone market

All summer long, from 1 June to 1 September, Jean-Pascal and Marie-Jeanne will be at the Bravone market, where local craftspeople gather every Thursday from 8am to 1pm.

Parcel delivery - Shipment throughout France

Piazzoli charcuterie is exported by parcel all over France. The shop also has a small grocery selling Corsican products such as wine, honey and Linguizzetta mustard.

Jean-Pascal and Marie-Jeanne have sales outlets in Moriani and Marseille, where you can buy their charcuterie through retailers (Don Simoni). If you would like to place an order directly, please contact Marie-Jeanne directly, who will be happy to answer you as quickly as possible.
