The Oberto Legacy

To speak about Fassona Oberto means to speak about Oberto - a name synonymous with Italian butchery excellence, family tradition, and uncompromising standards. Rooted in Piedmont and guided by decades of expertise, Oberto represents a rare balance between heritage and modern precision.

This is the story of a producer who did not adapt to quality trends - they helped define them.

A Family Legacy

Oberto’s story begins in Piedmont, a region where food culture is inseparable from identity. From its origins as a traditional macelleria, Oberto evolved through generations, preserving artisanal knowledge while continuously refining its methods.

Still family-run today, the company has retained its most valuable asset: absolute control over quality. Every decision - breed selection, sourcing, processing, and aging - is guided by experience rather than shortcuts.

Mastery of the Fassona Breed

Oberto’s reputation is inseparable from Fassona Piemontese. Over decades, the company developed an intimate understanding of the breed - its structure, growth patterns, optimal maturation, and ideal cuts for culinary use.

This mastery is not theoretical. It is practiced daily through:

• Careful animal selection

• Humane handling and welfare standards

• Precision butchery

• Controlled maturation processes

The aim is not volume, but excellence.

Beyond the Slaughterhouse: The Art of Processing

At Oberto, production is treated as craftsmanship. Cuts are tailored for professional kitchens, respecting the natural anatomy of the animal and the needs of chefs.

Every step - from carcass breakdown to portioning - is designed to preserve texture, tenderness, and integrity. This attention ensures products that are not only premium, but functional.

A Modern Vision Rooted in Tradition

While deeply anchored in tradition, Oberto is anything but static. The company invests continuously in:

• Food safety

• Traceability

• Process optimization

• Sustainable practices

This combination of tradition and innovation allows Oberto to speak both to heritage-driven cuisines and to contemporary gastronomy.

The Partnership with Longino & Cardenal

The collaboration with Longino & Cardenal represents a natural alignment. Both companies share a belief in transparent sourcing, long-term relationships, and excellence without compromise.

Through Longino, Oberto’s products reach top-tier restaurants beyond Italy -introducing international chefs to authentic Fassona, processed with Italian mastery and delivered with logistical precision.

Oberto Today

Today, Oberto stands as a benchmark producer for premium Italian meat. Its name signals reliability, flavor, and integrity. In a global market crowded with “premium” claims, Oberto speaks softly - letting the product itself prove its worth.

Behind every Fassona Oberto cut lies:

• A family legacy

• A territory

• A philosophy of respect

• A commitment to excellence

Not just meat - but culture, discipline, and vision.
