Fra'Mani Handcrafted Foods
Berkeley, California
We are creators of delicious food inspired by the flavors, techniques, traditions, and culture of Italy. While we major in salumi, there are a few other menu items we couldn’t help but make.
Fra’ Mani was launched in Berkeley, CA in 2006, by acclaimed chef and cookbook author Paul Bertolli. And as much as some things change, others don’t, as we still call Berkeley home and Paul still oversees all the making, bringing that same creative and maniacal attention to artistry and flavor that only a chef can bring.
We firmly believe there’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things. For us, that means treating time like a key ingredient because you can’t rush delicious. That means sourcing our ingredients from family farmers committed to the well-being of their crops, animals, and land. That means no antibiotics, artificial growth hormones, or meat by-products...ever. That means committing to the most sustainable practices possible to ensure that we’re doing our part to protect the broader food ecosystem.
We’ve only got one planet. We’ve only got one life. And we like to spend as much time of it as possible with family, friends, and the most delicious food imaginable.
