Made with Love in Buffalo
Since 1931, we've been crafting authentic Italian cured meats using the original recipes Umberto Battistoni brought over from Italy.

Founded in 1931, Umberto Battistoni brought his authentic Italian recipes and secret spice blends to New York, where he began selling handcrafted meats directly from the trunk of his car under the name "Bison" - a tribute to his adopted American hometown in Buffalo
47,000 square-foot production facility at 81 Dingens Street in Buffalo. The facility, which has been updated and modernized many times, remains the home of Battistoni products to this day.
In 1994, the Battisoni family changed the Bison brand name to Battistoni, in honor of its founder.
Today, the Battistoni brand is currently owned by Cup and Char Pepperoni, Inc. We share a passion for the highest quality and best tasting Italian meats, and grew up on pizzas covered with Battistoni “cup and char” pepperoni, a product that was invented and perfected by Umberto more than 50 years ago!
In the next Chapter of Battistoni, the legacy of Italian Specialty and tradition will continue on, but without the sulfites and preservatives.
