Salumificio Comal is a historic Italian leader in cooked ham and cold cuts, blending tradition with innovation in a state-of-the-art production facility.
Our clean label products—gluten-free, dairy-free, with no added phosphates, and no added sugars— are crafted to meet the needs of large-scale retail, food service, slicing bars, and industrial preparations.
Over 40 Years of Expertise: An Italian Industrial Story
Founded in 1982 by Sandro Gialdi and Claudio Barbolini, the company started as a small food distribution business and gradually evolved into an industrial producer specializing in cooked meats, recognized as a leading player both for its own brand products and private label lines.
Today, the founding partners remain actively involved and are gradually transferring knowledge and responsibilities to the next generation, with the goal of preserving and enhancing the production know-how developed over the years.
Production Innovation and Environmental Responsibility
Inaugurated in 2018 and built from scratch, the Comal facility is a benchmark in industrial innovation. Automated lines, interconnected machinery, and integrated traceability ensure consistent quality, maximum food safety, and full control over production processes.
Alongside technological innovation, the company has implemented a concrete energy sustainability strategy: a 1,050 kWh photovoltaic system and a quadrigeneration system allow the production of approximately 95% of the plant’s energy needs, reducing environmental impact and ensuring greater operational stability.
Technology and environmental responsibility make Comal a reliable partner, capable of delivering high-quality products, efficient processes, and full alignment with the strictest ESG standards.
Certified Safety and International Standards
All products are gluten-free, dairy-free, and free from added phosphates. In 2024, Comal took a strategic step by eliminating added sugars across its entire cooked ham range—from premium lines to entry-level products—becoming the first Italian cured meat producer to offer this benefit consistently across its full portfolio.
This initiative is part of a structured quality system that oversees every stage of production, from raw material selection to final product inspection. An integrated traceability system continuously monitors each step, ensuring transparency, reliability, and ready-to-sell solutions for global buyers.
Each offering meets stringent criteria for food safety, authentic taste, and consistent quality, supported by internationally recognized certifications such as BRC and IFS.
With its combination of innovation, quality, and reliability, Comal is the ideal partner for retailers seeking premium, export-ready products.
