ST. LOUIS — Fourth-generation, family-owned charcuterie producer Volpi Foods has won a St. Louis Business Journal Family Business Award.

"We are honored to receive this recognition from the St. Louis Business Journal," said Lorenza Pasetti, CEO of Volpi Foods. "For over 120 years, our family has been committed to producing the highest quality dry-cured meats using traditional methods and the finest ingredients. This award is a testament to our dedication and hard work, and we are proud to be a part of the St. Louis community."

According to Volpi Foods, the business was founded in 1902 by John Volpi, an Italian immigrant who began making dry-cured meats, including prosciutto and salami, in St. Louis. The company still uses his same techniques more than a century later.

Volpi said it received the Family Business Award for its longevity, innovation and commitment to the St. Louis community.
