About Il Porcellino Salumi

Chef and owner Bill Miner set out to create hand crafted artisanal salumi with time-tested old-world processes, so he planned and launched il porcellino salumi in 2015 out of the desire for his artisanal charcuterie to be made and sold in a retail store in Denver, CO.

Bill believes that the best products come from utilizing sustainably raised animals as part of the Global Animal Partnership Program and premium ingredients. He has worked extremely hard to build il porcellino salumi and its business ethos around his beliefs. The company has developed relationships with farmers, ranchers, and distributors that they trust. This dedication has created a line of award-winning products that il porcellino salumi is proud to stand behind.

Bill's upbringing planted the business's seeds before he even knew he'd be a chef. He grew up in small-town Ohio, eating fresh vegetables from his family's garden and visiting local farms and orchards. These experiences sparked his curiosity about how food is grown, raised, and consumed.

It didn't take long for Bill to find himself in a restaurant kitchen. He honed his skills at some of the most influential restaurants in Colorado and graduated at the top of his class from the Art Institute of Colorado's culinary program. Over his 20 years of cooking, Bill continued to push his knowledge as a chef and butcher. He became dedicated to his passion for cured meats and taught himself the craft of charcuterie. 

Recipes for Bresaola, Berkeley Ham, and Mortadella were some of the first developed. Family and friends, who were the initial test subjects, expressed strong words of encouragement. With this positive feedback, Bill wrote a business plan and secured finances. The plans were in place for il porcellino salumi to open as Denver's first retail salumeria, delicatessen, and whole animal butcher shop.
