Upon emigrating to Chicago from Spilinga, Agostino Fiasche, set out to rediscover the full-flavored ‘nduja of his native Calabria. Finding no suitable offering in America, Agostino and his son, Antonio, pledged to create their own signature ‘nduja, and other salumi. The culmination of more than 100 years of family expertise, Tempesta Artisan Salumi is rooted in the rich Calabrian legacy of making unapologetically authentic and inspired products. Today Agostino and Antonio serve as the entrusted artisanal guardians of Tempesta — their muse, a reference to the Roman goddess of storms and her playful nod to the Windy City.
When we couldn’t find an authentic ‘nduja in America, we made our own — the way our family always had. Calabrese peppers, sea salt, and heritage pork. Three ingredients. No shortcuts. The Good Food Awards noticed. Bon Appétit called it “legendary.” Some things don’t need to change.
Great salumi begins with great pork. Ours comes from Midwestern family farms we trust — heritage breeds, raised naturally, the way it’s always been done. Nothing added. Nothing hidden.
Great salumi deserves great company. Explore the pairings and recipes our team loves most.
