ARTISTA SALUMERIA 423 Main Street Chester 908-888-061 By: Kevin Corcoran Chester based Artista Salumeria – Ialian Specialties is a premier selector, importer and market of authentic, arti- sanal foods from all regions of Italy. Artista has top quality Italian ingredients sourced from among the best Italian artisans, with an uncompro- mising eye toward purity, sus- tainability and authenticity. At Artista you will find tra- ditional regional classics including seasonal prepared Italian foods, handmade pas- tas, house-made sausage and meatballs, cured salumi, arti- san cheeses, panini, soups, salads and simple desserts. We produce in small batch- es to ensure freshness using ingredients only of the high- est quality. Most of our prod- ucts are free of preservatives, fillers or processed food sub- stitutes. Our produce, breads and some of our meats are purchased when seasonally possible from local, predomi- nantly organic farmers and artisans. We specialize in traditional Italian cooking in an effort to emulate the best of the great Italian tradition of hospitality, quality and simplicity at the table. Our philosophy is easy and straight forward, use the freshest local ingredients cou- pled with the finest imported ingredients, and serve them with a flourish and joy. While we wholeheartedly support local and sustainable, we believe that if you want to experience the best San Marzano tomatoes in the world, the complex nuances of extra virgin olive oils made with hundreds of ancient olive cultivars, the wholesome taste of pasta which centuries of experience have pro- duced… you still have to fol- low us to Italy. We talk and breathe food all day long; we love to cook and to share our experiments with family and friends. We love Italy and everything that parla Italiano: if you are like us, please join our ever grow- ing community. Artista is your place! Tutti a tavola! !!% #! # "# !
