brigante lucano
u r H i s t r y
Biogastronomica Brigante Lucano, is a young company born from the idea of two young friars, Giuseppe and Antonio Avigliano. A family business with a strong and solid experience in the field of organic agriculture and in semi-wild swine livestock, but above all with important knowledge in the field of slaughter and processing of pigmeat handed down from different generations.
It all stems from the idea of wanting to remain on the territory enhancing it, preserving biodiversity and niche products, but above all exposing outside the regional and national borders, those that are Lucan gastronomic excellence giving it value and keeping alive the gestures and rituals of the peasant life of the past. The idea is to not lose these ancestral rituals, keep them intact and alive for future generations and above all mix them with a good dose of innovation to ensure that Basilicata and its excellences are appreciated even overseas.

Authentic tastes
u r s e a s n i g s
Important for us is the maturing of the products that takes place exclusively at NATURAL, without the use of forced ventilation cells, fed by simple recycles of fresh mountain air, where the perfect microclimate is the main ingredient of Monte Cenapora with its 954 mt .slm, which guarantees to the products an excellent formation of the noble musse and an accurate and slow maturation of the meat. The underground sandstone cellars, of which the village of Vaglio Basilicata is rich, give a touch of class to the product that remains refined even well beyond 60 MONTHS. Raw materials carefully selected by hand, experience, love for their land and a lot of passion for our work, lead us to produce high quality cold cuts still handcrafted according to a traditional ritual. Few ingredients and tools used, NO ADDED CONSERVANT and infinite patience in waiting for the weather and the winds of the east to take their course.
