Why Traditions and Family History Matter
In the Name of the Father… Mastro Peppe
The Degusteria was opened in honor of Mastro Peppe, celebrating memory as a bridge between past and present through the authentic flavors of Umbria. It becomes a living symbol of Norcia’s artisan and cultural tradition, preserving the founder’s legacy and enriching the identity of those who visit it.
The Degusteria was opened in honor of the founder Mastro Peppe, creating a bridge between the past and the present through a celebration of memory. In the cultural and philosophical context, memory is seen not only as an intellectual function, but also as an element that contributes to our personal and collective identity. Remembering Mastro Peppe means reviving the tradition and values that he embodied in the present, allowing each visitor to get closer to his legacy through the authentic flavors of Umbria.
The Degusteria thus becomes not only a place for tasting, but a living symbol of a shared history. Each element, from cured meats to cheeses, is a tribute to Master Peppe, keeping his memory alive and manifesting the essence of an artisanal knowledge handed down from generation to generation. In this way, the Degusteria not only honors the memory of an individual, but also the culture and practices that define the community of Norcia.
The importance of memory, in this case, is to transform the memory into a concrete experience, where the values and traditions of the founder are not only preserved, but become an integral part of the identity and experience of anyone who enters the Degusteria. With this gesture, the importance of places as custodians of memory is emphasized, capable of telling stories and keeping the emotions of the past alive in the present, enriching our understanding of tradition and community.
Admire the passion and art with which the Mastro Peppe family makes its cured meats and cheeses, handing down the knowledge of the trade and respect for the ancient butchery traditions from generation to generation. You will feel immersed in an authentic atmosphere, where the quality of the products and respect for tradition are the fundamental values.
Come and try our artisanal specialties: only with us in Norcia you can visit real aging cellars and discover the incredible commitment behind the production of authentic artisan butcheries.
