Also known as: Salumifici GranTerre S.p.A., GranTerre Casa Modena, Grandi Salumifici Italiani
Casa Modena is an Italian cured-meat brand of Salumifici GranTerre S.p.A. in Modena: Gran Magro salami, pancetta cubes, and a cured range of crudo, coppa and speck.
Casa Modena is an Italian cured-meat brand of Salumifici GranTerre S.p.A., based at Strada Gherbella in Modena. GranTerre is a group in which Consorzio Granterre holds the majority. The brand's own page presents it as the home of the gastronomic tradition of Emilia. The producer does not state a founding year for the brand.
The group's history runs through several mergers: 1946, ACM founded in Reggio Emilia; 1948, CIAM, a Modena pork cooperative; 1991, the merger into Unibon; 2005, the creation of Grandi Salumifici Italiani; 2019, Gruppo Bonterre; 2023, the new name GranTerre. In 2025 Parmacotto joined the group. Casa Modena has no dated history of its own; some packs name Grandi Salumifici Italiani.
The producer's page lists Salame Gran Magro and pancetta cubes, sweet or smoked. Open Food Facts also records Casa Modena packs of prosciutto crudo, coppa, speck, carpaccio di bresaola, Salamini italiani alla cacciatora, Finocchiona, Milano and Cremona. Cotechino and Zampone di Modena, sold precooked, are not cured products.
Golfera and Villani carry a family story; Casa Modena instead belongs to a large group, with Emilian tradition in its name.
The Casa Modena logo is the cue. Whole salami sticks, sliced trays (the M'affetto line) and pancetta cubes are the pack forms, and some labels name GranTerre or Grandi Salumifici Italiani as producer. Ordinary supermarket chains are the usual shelf.
