Salumificio F.lli Coati
Great charcuterie is not produced faster. It is produced better. That is the principle behind Coati — and the reason LAPA chose them.
A Family Legacy from the Valpolicella
Based in Marano di Valpolicella (VR), Via Monti Lessini 36, Salumificio F.lli Coati is a family business where the craft of cured meats has been refined across generations. Today, siblings Beatrice, Giampaolo and Federica lead the company — honouring their parents' tradition while meeting the standards of modern professional kitchens.
Their guiding principle: "It is with patience that everything gains its unique flavour."
With a share capital of 6 million euros, Coati combines artisan expertise with the reliability that professional buyers require: consistent quality, predictable supply, no compromises.
Industry Recognition
5 Spilli
Maximum score in the L'Espresso guide "I Salumi d'Italia" for the slow-cooked ham. The most rigorous benchmark in the Italian charcuterie sector — and Coati reached the top.

The Slow-Cooking Method
At the heart of Coati's production is Lenta Cottura — a three-stage process designed for one purpose: to produce cooked ham of measurably superior quality. The result is tender, naturally pink meat with clean flavour and no artificial additives.
1. Selection
Only whole hind legs of the highest grade. Quality in the finished product starts with uncompromising raw material selection.
2. Marinating
Natural aromatics, controlled timing. The process is respected — no shortcuts that would compromise the final flavour profile.
3. Slow Cooking
Controlled temperatures over extended time. Noble meat proteins are preserved, delivering tenderness that holds up on the plate.
