Starting with its founder Frank Sorba, Galileo brand invites all salame lovers to join the Galileo brand family tree for a chance to win the ultimate Italian culinary experience in Italy.
“For the better part of a century, we’ve been curing authentic Italian salame with the idea of family and tradition at its center. We want to continue crafting this experience for our fellow salame lovers, near and far,” said Jeremy Kross, Galileo Brand Manager. “The ‘Welcome to the Family’ program celebrates our Italian heritage, the next generation of Italian cuisine and of course – the deliciousness of salame. But don’t worry – you don’t have to speak Italian.”

The winners will learn about the history of the Galileo brand and explore incredible destinations in the region of Le Marche - Ancona, a city and seaport that sits along Italy’s Adriatic coast; Mount Conero, known as a “small piece of heaven” on the Adriatic Sea with some of the clearest water; and finally, San Marino, said to be the world's oldest surviving republic. While in Sant'Angelo in Vado, the winners will visit La Tavola Marche, a unique hands-on culinary experience where guests can immerse themselves in Italian culture and food.

To help celebrate with all salame lovers, Galileo brand is giving its ‘family’ an inside look at the art of making salame, including what it takes to craft the delicious salame that completes a charcuterie board.

“Growing up in an Italian household and working alongside my father in our family’s restaurants, food remained the core ingredient that brought us all together,” said Vitale. “I couldn’t be more excited to partner with Galileo to give others a chance to experience the true Italian tradition through the thing that connects us the most—food…and salame!”

About Galileo® Brand
Started in 1945 by Frank Sorba in the San Francisco Bay Area, Galileo® Salame was founded on tradition. More than 75 years later, Galileo® Brand has stayed true to the taste and quality that made it a success. We still craft our Italian meats in the Bay Area where the temperate climate, like that of northern Italy, makes the location ideal to cure salame and develop its deliciously tangy flavor profile. Galileo® Salame including Italian Dry Salame, Light Italian Dry Salame, All Natural Italian Dry Salame, Italian Dry Salame Chub, Pepperoni, All-Natural Pepperoni, and Pepperoni Medallions offerings are all crafted with lean hand-trimmed, high-quality pork, giving it mouth-watering flavor and a unique texture. The timeless recipe based on Italian tradition uses a robust herb and spice blend that excites with every bite.
