September is a strange month ...
We risk waking up in the morning with the desire for hot chocolate, then arriving at lunchtime wishing for a thirst-quenching granita and in the evening dreaming of hot cotechino with mashed potatoes.

For those of us involved in this field of work, and looking for an answer to the distressing request for mid-season gourmet dishes, there is always a solution. Over the years we have been able to “de-season” hundreds of products, from cured meats, to panettone, to cheese and so on ... why not do it also with goose products?

The Autumn is certainly the main period of this delicacy, but if we use lean goose meat it is possible to make appetizing and light dishes with what the season offers at this time. From the fields covered with morning dew the first lentils begin to arrive and with them the first summer-autumn vegetables that go well with this idea of midseason.


On the other hand our GOLIARDO, the pure goose salami as in the olden days 100% Made in Italy, is a product that connects the lightness of lean goose meat with the desire for a hot dish autumn style that is so popular in this period.

Do you want to avoid literally burning your money on a pork salami with goose meat like the one in the supermarket? Our GOLIARDO, the authentic goose salami, guarantees an exclusive product for you  and your gourmet customers. And if you are not satisfied you will get a 10% refund on the product.

It probably happened to you to buy goose salami guaranteed by the producer as pure goose salami and then to notice by reading the label that it was almost only pork salami with a small and insignificant percentage of goose meat. Practically pork salami. 

Products that you paid much more compared to an excellent pork salami without finding that lightness and that typical freshness of lean goose meat. Without  finding those healthy aspects that you were looking for when searching for a high quality alternative to pork meat.

And when you asked the producer for explanations, he told you that "it is not possible to produce pure goose salami and that all the goose products are made like this". This of course increased your belief that authentic goose salami does not exist, leading you almost to give up.

Often the producer’s story was also supported by your kitchen staff who pointed out that the pure goose salami cannot be sliced because it crumbles and they would waste too much time to prepare it.

But you have an original restaurant in which you have invested a lot and you have selected and gourmet customers. Customers that come to you to find artisan and exclusive quality products. Products that have their own history and are not found in the supermarket. Products of the highest quality such as pure pork and pure goose.

Perhaps you noticed that your  customers who are experts of goose meat, didn’t order again because they had the feeling of eating pork salami instead, and maybe someone even wrote to you "I took a cold platter of goose salami and I thought I was eating pork salami" added to the discomfort of having to confirm that was actually the truth ...

Surely you went on to look for pure goose salami, but with scarce results both in terms of products and quality. And most likely you didn’t solve your problem yet or maybe you even gave up offering a normal pork salami with goose.

But you need to differentiate yourself from the products in the supermarkets, you would like to surprise your customers by offering them the pure goose salami and tell them the story of this wonderful and unique product.

You were perhaps giving up trying to find authentic goose salami when, all of a sudden you discovered that it existed and is called GOLIARDO.

Our GOLIARDO, the pure goose salami as in the oldest day, is obtained only with goose meat without pork meat added. Lean goose meat comes from the Romagnola breed with white plumage bred on the ground with natural food and without stuffing. This type of breeding offers the best raw material for processing into high quality salami.

The purity of lean goose meat makes it possible to obtain a product:

• elegant, fresh, light and digestible suitable for your customers;
• easy to slice without wasting too much time;
• on which to build theme events to attract more people to your restaurant;
• to differentiate yourself with authentic goose salami.

Together with GOLIARDO you can receive for free:

• our gastronomic recipies in which the best culinary proposals of recent years are collected and organised;
• a continuous update with OcaSforzescaNews (our newsletter) on the world of gourmet goose products with new and modern gastronomic proposals dedicated to your clients who want high quality products without giving up the pleasures of the table.

​We are so confident about our GOLIARDO that if you are not satisfied you will have a 10% refund on the product amount.

Rich in fiber, vegetables are a touch of freshness and lightness to bring to the table especially in this season. Naturally we do not want to give up the gourmet satisfaction that delights our palate and fills us with happiness, but at the same time we look for dishes more suitable for the hot season that do not leave us heavy and thirsty.

​As mentioned many times, our goose meat is lean and basically sweet. This depends on the type of ground breeding geese without force feeding (gavage) that allows for the formation of a healthy, lean muscle, protected by a thin layer of skin that can easily be removed.

The sweetness of our goose salami offers modern and inviting food combinations with sweet vegetables such as asparagus, courgettes, onions, peppers and potatoes that we normally find in this season. Culinary creations that mix well with the positive trends of vegetable consumption. The food combination is particularly interesting not only for the harmonious and basically sweet taste, but also visually, with that contrast of the dark red goose products and the pastel colours of the vegetables.

​We often think of vegetables only as a fruit, but the courgette also offers us a beautiful yellow flowers that give us unique gastronomic emotions.

The deep historical connection to Milan, under the Visconti reign first and then under the Sforza family, led us to repossess a very interesting product of our territory: authentic goose salami without pork meat. The historical one. The one born in the 13th century and handed down for generations to the present day. By now, we tried to enhance the goose salami, revisit the product in a gourmet fashion and recover the precious heritage of a territory.

​Rediscovering the link with the territory and with tradition of making goose salami without pork for us means re-evaluating the dish. A product that tells us a piece of our medieval and Renaissance history, inextricably linked to the typical Italian artisan cuisine of our territory. First of all, we pay attention to the quality and freshness of lean goose meat. The preparation of the goose neck as a skin case with its characteristic external sewing gives it the particular shape of a flask. These are fundamental aspects that best express the historic authenticity of goose salami, with its typical elegance and lightness unique to the rest of the world.

Reviewing the product for today's consumer in a gourmet version means reducing ingredients and salt content, increasing yield in the kitchen and shelf life. In fact, improving the quality of the product to benefit the health aspects inherent in goose meat. All of this is accompanied by a constant commitment to research and development, to collect the heritage of a territory and create new goose products starting from the traditional ones.

Our intention is to offer a totally Italian experience made of exquisite taste. We complete the experience with  an impeccable service component and with new and modern gastronomic proposals spread throughout the blog completely dedicated to the goose. From single vacuum packaging to reduce food waste, to sustainable and fast logistics. Not to forget an essential label that conveys elegance and good Italian taste.

We then asked ourselves how to share this with you. Our 100% Made in Italy is the perfect synthesis of tradition, elegance and high quality. A sensorial experience, connected to taste, touch, smell and hearing, but also to a cultural and narrative made up of images, places, traditions and creativity.
