History and Heritage
Established on March 15, 1985, in the pedemontana modenese hamlet of Formica, Giuseppe Bettini Salumi e Formaggi began as a wholesale dairy operation before evolving into a retail haven for local delicacies. Founders Giuseppe Bettini and Alida Quattrini, high school sweethearts from Vignola, built a legacy over nearly 40 years, emphasizing quality Emilian products. In late 2024, they handed operations to a trusted employee, allowing the couple to focus on market stalls in Piumazzo, Vignola, and Marano while preserving the shop's spirit.
