Fra' Mani

We are creators of world-class salumi inspired by the flavors, techniques, traditions, and culture of Italy. Fra' Mani was launched in Berkeley, California, in 2006 by acclaimed chef and cookbook author Paul Bertolli.

We take a chef's approach to everything we do and firmly believe there's a right way and a wrong way to do things. For us, that means treating time like a key ingredient because you can't rush delicious. That means sourcing the highest-quality ingredients from the best purveyors on earth—family farms committed to land, animals, people, and a better food system for all. That means humanely-raised. That means no antibiotics, artificial growth hormones, or meat by-products...ever. That means committing to the most sustainable practices possible to ensure that we're doing our part. We've only got one planet and life, and we like to spend as much time as possible with family, friends, and utterly delicious food.
