Located in the heart of the Baganza Valley, over the years it has been able to blend the ancient and irreplaceable human art with the most modern technology. Located on an area of about 35,000 square meters, it has a production capacity of over 6,5 million kilograms of processed meat annually, in several production departments. It produces about 500,000 hams each year and has a turnover of about 60,000,000 euros. Fontana Ermes S.p.A has been for several years an active protagonist in many markets: Italian, European, North American (USA and Canada), South American, Asian and Japanese. It has now an export quota consolidated over time of about 55% of the total turnover.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:10px;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><a class=\"fusion-modal-text-link\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\".fusion-modal.infografica\" href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/pulsante-Ermes-banner2-SRGB.jpg\"><\/a><div class=\"fusion-modal modal fade modal-1 infografica has-light-close\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" aria-labelledby=\"modal-heading-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"--awb-border-color:#34180d;--awb-background:#34180d;\"><div class=\"modal-dialog modal-lg\" role=\"document\"><div class=\"modal-content fusion-modal-content\"><div class=\"modal-header\"><button class=\"close\" type=\"button\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"Close\">&times;<\/button><h3 class=\"modal-title\" id=\"modal-heading-1\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"modal-body fusion-clearfix\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:-20px;margin-bottom:-20px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7643\" src=\"https:\/\/ermesfontana.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Folderino-I-Nostri-Numeri-Aggiornato-Leggero.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"738\" \/><\/div><div class=\"modal-footer\"><button class=\"fusion-button button-default button-medium button default medium\" type=\"button\" data-dismiss=\"modal\">Close<\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-margin-top:27px;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">History and Values<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Fontana Ermes: an important name in the important history of the production of charcuterie in Parma<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Continuing the family tradition, since he was a child Mr Fontana Ermes, used to go with his father during winter season to kill pigs raised in the farms of each family. That was a big responsability due to the high value of pork meat, which was fundamental for peasant families\u2019 diet throughout the year. For this reason, those who carried out this job with competence and ability were respected and appreciated. Starting the production was just the natural outcome of that job. Mr Fontana Ermes began his business in 1959 with the salting of 17 fresh thighs: from them, he produced hams and found the buyer even before they were cured. That was the result of the respect people had for his job.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 1px ) * 0.5 ) );margin-right: 1px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"325\" alt=\"Prosciuttificio Parma il passato\" title=\"ermes al passato\" src=\"https:\/\/ermesfontana.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/ermes-al-passato.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-2369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ermesfontana.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/ermes-al-passato-200x118.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ermesfontana.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/ermes-al-passato-400x236.jpg 400w, https:\/\/ermesfontana.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/ermes-al-passato.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><div style=\"padding: 0px 20px 0px 20px;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The factory yesterday and today<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Fontana Ermes knew the importance of both the air and the orientation to the winds in the process of curing, which are essential to obtain a perfect roduct. Therefore, the choice of the location of the production plant &#8211; and also of his home, as tradition required, in order to be able to look after hams at any time of the day &#8211; was made after a long and careful analysis. It was 1959: the place chosen by Fontana Ermes is where the factory is still located today.
