Volpi Foods Launches Smaller-Portioned Small Bites Line

Volpi Foods, the St. Louis-based, 4th-generation family-owned and operated producer of specialty cured meats since 1902, announces the launch of its new product line, Small Bites, single serve packages with 1.5-ounce portions of the brand’s expertly sliced artisan-made, dry-cured meats.

“While we saw the need for smaller portion options of our products before the pandemic, the demand is even more prevalent now,” Volpi Foods Marketing Manager Deanna Depke said. “Consumers are spending more time with their immediate families. They are experimenting more in the kitchen. They are looking for affordable indulgences that can be enjoyed at home. The Small Bites line allows for convenience, flexibility and ultimately discovery. It’s a cost-effective way to mix and match charcuterie items, makes for the perfect snack and encourages consumers to incorporate our products into new at-home recipes.”

While most pre-sliced cured meats are packaged in 4-ounce portions, the 1.5-ounce size encourages trial of new products without the intimidation and cost of purchasing a larger quantity. This reduces potential waste, and consumers can now effectively make their own charcuterie board for one. Small Bites will launch with Volpi’s most popular dry-cured meats of Prosciutto, Coppa, Sopressata and Spicy Sopressata. Small Bites items can also be utilized for salad toppers, pizza upgrades, omelet enhancers, picnic packs, and much more.

Small Bites will be available at retailers across the country in Schnucks, Dierbergs, Hy-Vee regional, Alberstons and all World Market locations.
