SanDan Hams
A family passion handed down over time
San Dan Hams are the result of a history of tradition, dedication, and respect for the art of Italian charcuterie. The company was born from a family vision rooted in the 1940s, when Giuseppe Aimaretti and his wife Giovanna embarked on a journey that combined passion, dedication, and artisanal expertise.
On the slopes of Monviso, a project destined to grow over time is taking shape, based on solid values and a deep connection to the region and Italian gastronomic culture.
Today, the legacy of that passion continues thanks to the new generation of the Aimaretti family, who have preserved and passed down the secrets of an ancient craft.
Over the years, Prosciutti San Dan has become a symbol of balance between tradition and innovation: a company capable of looking to the future without losing its ties to its past.
A story that spans three generations
The history of Prosciutti San Dan is, first and foremost, a family story. From the beginning, the delicatessen hasn't simply been a production activity, but a daily commitment that has involved generations united by the same goal: preserving the authenticity of Italian tradition.
From the origins to the growth of the company
The journey began with Giuseppe Aimaretti, who, together with his wife Giovanna, started a small business specializing in cured meats. Through manual labor, firsthand experience, and knowledge of traditional techniques, the family developed a skill that over time has become a shared heritage.
With the generational transition, sons Claudio and Roberto have inherited their parents' legacy, learning every aspect of the trade: from selecting raw materials to carefully managing the aging process. This transition has ensured continuity and consistency in the values that have always defined the company.
Artisan tradition and uncompromising quality
The success of San Dan Hams, a family passion, stems from a constant attention to quality.
Each stage of the production process is geared towards respecting traditional techniques, integrated with modern tools that allow for maintaining high standards and accurate controls.
Selection and processing of raw materials
One of the key elements in prosciutto production is the selection of the meat. The quality of the raw materials is the first step in achieving a product that meets the standards of Italian gastronomic tradition.
This phase is followed by careful and meticulous processing, in which the experience gained over the years guides every decision. Salting, resting, and curing are all carefully managed, allowing the product to develop its distinctive aroma, texture, and organoleptic characteristics.
The goal is to preserve the balance between craftsmanship and technological control, keeping intact the link with the traditional techniques that have always characterized Italian cured meats.
Technological innovation at the service of tradition
Over the course of over eighty years of business, the company has evolved its production processes by integrating advanced technological solutions. This development has never replaced tradition, but rather complemented it, making the control of the various production phases more efficient.
The use of modern systems allows for the monitoring of environmental conditions, processing times, and quality parameters, ensuring precise management of the production process. At the same time, the family's artisanal experience remains the primary guide for every decision.
This approach allows San Dan Hams, a family passion, to maintain a strong identity, in which tradition and innovation coexist harmoniously.
The value of family in the company philosophy
At the heart of everything remains the family dimension. San Dan wasn't simply born as a food company, but as a business built around collaboration between generations.
Daily work is guided by values such as:
respect for the Italian gastronomic tradition
transmission of skills between generations
constant attention to product quality
commitment to preserving the authenticity of the workmanship
This spirit represents the true heart of the company. Technological and organizational growth has never altered its original identity: a large family, even before a large company.
