Born on Baltimore’s Corned Beef Row in 1932, Deli Brands of America is a family-owned processor of deli meats and custom proteins for retail, foodservice, restaurants, and distributors. Now in its fourth generation, the company carries Harry and Flora Saval’s old-world recipes into private-label and co-pack manufacturing, producing about one million pounds a month in its 56,000-square-foot operation. Its Baltimore roots remain especially visible in its corned beef and pastrami, while the Honest to Goodness line brings an all-natural option to the company’s traditional deli business.
