SEPT. 11, 2009 3:30pm IMV finds its new official home south of Downtown Denver!!!

July 2009
Getting closer to the space we have singled one out near downtown Denver. More to come soon.......
June/July 2009
Since May we have focused our energies into locating a physical space or more appropriately a home for IMV. This will allow us at IMV to expand tremendously and I am excited to say we are down to the final three locations.
Once in our new home we will focus significant efforts into the production of our new pork lines, Double D. Duck Lardo, lamb prosciuttini and others as well opening up several opportunities for individuals and consumers such as yourself to connect with la Famigila IMV and the Artisanal Craft we so love.
Feb-May 2009
WOW, what a lot we have had going on!!
I want to personally introduce and welcome Gennaro DeSantis, IMV's associate salumiere, from a longstanding lineage of Italian-Americans from Longmont, CO. To hear the story on how we connected is truly amazing!
The introduction of several new IMV-Salumi Fatto a Mano items. Check them out on the Products Page of the IMV Website.
Check out our newest distinction of new Gold Line and Silver Line Salumi products coming soon in the Products area as well.
May 2009 Our presence in the Italco Foods area at the WestEx Colorado Rest. Association Food Show was a big hit. It was great seeing familiar faces and meeting new.
April 2009 once again another stellar year at the Grand Wine & Food Festival in Sugarland Texas with our Salumi Skewer on Chibatta Cube.
Coming soon to a Denver neighborhood an IMV retail storefront/salumeria for you, your family, friends, chefs, cooks, culinary afficionadios, foodies and Salumi Socialites can acquire IMV Salumi, Cheeses, Olives, Breads, Coffee and Wines.
Thanks for your continued support and growth.

The first and only, duck breast prosciuttini, cured
with Pure and Natural Ancient Sea Salt mined from beds in Utah now available!
November 2008

Redbook Magazine
"Rocky Mountain Trade Enterprises Duck Breast Prosciuttinni with Mozzarella, Mango, and Quail Eggs. Okay, I know there is little logic to this, but I do eat duck. Yes, they are as cute as pigs—let's stop talking about it! So the prosciuttinni was the closest thing I've had to real prosciutto in many years, and it definitely had that meaty, salty, savory flavor I love. It was served with frisee, which was a fresh, bitter foil to the salty gameyness of the meat. The tiny, tender quail eggs, mango puree, and fresh mozzarella only added to the taste sensation." Melanie Redbook Magazine May 2008
