Some of Mastro's products, like their prosciutto and genoa salami, are gluten-free. However, others, like their sopressata and hot calabrese, contain wheat. Make sure to check the packaging or website for information about each product's ingredients.
Mastro uses only the finest natural ingredients in their products, with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. However, some of their products may contain nitrates or nitrites, which are natural preservatives commonly used in cured meats.
The shelf life of Mastro products varies depending on the item and how it is stored. Generally, sliced deli meats should be consumed within 5-7 days, while whole cuts can last up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Cheese and olives can last longer, up to several months refrigerated.
Mastro sources its pork from farms in Canada and the United States that meet their strict standards for quality and animal welfare. Their cheese and olive suppliers are also carefully selected for their commitment to natural and sustainable production methods.
