Vongole Bernardi

Lorenzo and Luca Bernardi, the fourth generation of a Rimini fishing family that has worked the Adriatic for ninety years, began packing under their own name in 2022. The house does one thing: the wild lupino clam off Rimini and Cattolica, taken on the family's own two boats and processed at Santarcangelo di Romagna within a day of landing, purged in seawater rather than fresh water and blast chilled with no additives. Shells are cleaned and sent north as a calcium supplement for chicken feed, and the packaging is paper rather than plastic.
