With a background in industrial pasta manufacturing, Mr. Emiliomiti LLC is the only showroom in North America featuring reproduction slicers alongside antique Berkel machines, which are also showcased in their online catalog (). Using original master moulds, cast iron or aluminum and hand polished chrome, the quality and craftsmanship of the classic Berkel slicers has been reincarnated, recalling the early 1900s through the late 1960s. In an effort to meet this need, Emiliomiti LLC () has partnered with a small Italian manufacturer that specializes in metal casting to create a new vintage style slicer with old Berkel appeal. "It's an elegant, beautiful, precision machine, simply the best thing there is to slice meat." "The Berkel is the Ferrari of meat slicers," says Chris Cosentino, chef-owner of Incanto in Noe Valley. Although electric slicers may be faster many culinary aficionados claim the heat caused by the high speed blades "cooks" the meticulously produced meats. Their virtues include: the ability to cut paper thin slices, which is almost impossible with standard electric machines manual execution, which saves energy and is noise free and custom refurbishment in Italy, which adds esthetic artisan appeal. Restored antique slicers aren't easy to find, as Berkel stopped manufacturing them long ago, and they now draw a premium. Mitidieri, "we are seeing tremendous demand for reproduction vintage style slicers, from the most conscious US restaurants to the likes of Whole Foods." "Along with the popularity of sustainable food items like local, organic, cruelty free, grass fed, and free range," says Mr. Emilio Mitidieri, owner of Emiliomiti LLC () and a leading expert in specialty restaurant equipment, was recently interviewed for The History Channel's "Modern Marvels: Cold Cuts", where he demonstrated the precision cuts of hand-cranked Berkel slicers, and discussed the revival of these artisan constructed machines.
