Our Biota

bi·o·ta \bī-ˈō-tə\

The flora, fauna and fungi of a specific region.

Biota is the belief and philosophy of our entire process. Flora is used to discuss our unique region and land, and fauna refers to our livestock. Life can only exist when the natural bacteria, microflora, plants, and animals of an ecosystem work together symbiotically and in harmony.

From the Mangalitsa hogs roaming freely in Nebraska woodlands and pastures, grazing on grass, roots, wild herbs, and seasonal acorns, to the aging cellars where our salumi slowly ripen – all is surrounded by our friendly, geographically unique microflora (penicillium mold). The development of natural, benign mold not only provides protection to the meat during the aging process but also adds an unmistakable flavor and aroma that we call our "salumi terroir."
