European in pepperoni
Tulip Professional as part of Danish Crown is Europe’s largest pepperoni supplier. Our factories in Thorning and Svenstrup are experts in the production of pepperoni, and have a focus on foodservice and industrial customers. This enables them to produce large quantities in an effective manner, without compromising the quality and uniformity of the pepperoni.
The Pepperoni craft
All our pepperoni products start with a mince of raw materials. Our unique, high-quality recipes are constantly being monitored and analyzed in close cooperation with our customer to meet their demands.
The mince is then filled in casings and transferred to the fermentation room, which has a constant temperature of 24 degrees. Depending on the recipe, the pepperoni sticks will spend 2-3 days fermenting until they are ready for the drying process, which takes 2-5 weeks depending on the costumers wishes and the size of the sticks.
Finally, the pepperoni is peeled from the casings and ready to be packed as sticks or as sliced pepperoni in a frozen or cooled format.
Despite the large quantities, pepperoni production is still a craft to us. Therefore, every pepperoni stick is monitored in all processes by employees that are assisted by state-of-the-art technology.
The safe choice
Our pepperoni products are subject to strict quality controls before they are approved for sale, just as only world class food safety is good enough for us.

Our ham topping products
In Dinklage, Germany, and Aalborg, Denmark, we produce our topping products with a focus on ham. The production is specialized on foodservice and industrial customers. We therefore are able to produce large quantities in a cost-effective way while focusing on the importance of consistent quality, uniformity, and world-class supply chain reliability.
From ham muscle to ham topping
Our production is fully automated and built for producing large batches in an effective manner. Every customer is different, and to us every type of ham topping is different as well. We take pride in the craft of delivering a product, that both we and our customer can be proud of.
Our raw materials primarily come from our own abattoirs in Danish Crown. From start to finish, our ham toppings are subject to strict quality controls as
we focus on delivering the highestquality food.
The raw material is cured with a brine mixture before it is filled into casings. Here, the product needs to rest for 24 hours before the ham is boiled and cooled down again.
Afterwards, the ham needs to rest a couple of days for the texture and taste to develop, before it is ready to be diced and packed either chilled or frozen.
