History and Landscape

ARE OUR WEALTH

Our company was founded in the heart of Trentino Alto Adige in 1980, at an altitude of 1089 metres, where the village of Ronzone (TN) is located amidst the coniferous forests. On the horizon stand the Brenta Dolomites, of unparalleled beauty. They remind us that the peaks can in fact be reached, but only with sacrifice and determination, just like we have reached the heights of the quality of our speck. We breathe the pure air scented with pine needles and, thanks to this natural environment, the speck we produce here is very different from others, we have made it sweeter. A taste that also has distant roots in our long history.

Traditions and History

AT THE ROOTS OF KAISERSPECK GOODNESS

Our Kaiserspeck has been produced following our family tradition for generations. The forefather Franz Schmid (1859-1932) began the production of speck in Obereggen (Bolzano), in Alto Adige. The tradition has continued with his son Nikolaus (1901-1975), master butcher of Merano (Bolzano). His son Karl (1942) created the Kaiserspeck brand and founded the current company in 1980 in Ronzone. His son Nikolaus (1964) now represents the fourth generation and, with the same traditional secret family recipe, continues to passionately produce speck.
