The Pick Szeged, as a forestaller contracts with every supplier. It’s essential, that the cornered raw material has to be in high quality. The most part of the average products can be produced from normal meat. These don’t need any special meat. But there are some products, which could be made from pigs, which have special qualities. The company ensures with contracts the persistent high quality, and the trustiness. The farmers know the requirements of the Pick, the type of the pigs, feed, the optimal weight, and etc. The breeders have two groups. In one of the group are the mikro, and little breeders, they have at the most 20-30 pigs on his farm. In general they don’t have own engines, trucks, or combines. They buy the feed for the pigs. Another group of the breeders have a medium-size business. They are specializing in only one or two type of the pigs. Generally they have own trucks, engines, and every necessary equipment to grow up the pigs in high quality, and within a short time.

3.2. The special processing of Pick Salami

The special Hungarian salami requires a very meticulous and precise work. Only the first class stock of meat is allowed to process the salami. The commodity is made from old, senior pigs around 180-200 kg. The fibre is going to divide into pieces 25-30 dkg, and they are going to dehydrate 48 hours long, in -4o C. With this procedure can be manageable the moisture content of the meat. Another necessary ingredient is the bacon, which also has to be prime bacon. Frozen meat and bacon are going to cut and combine in a special engine, called a kutter. But the most important is the size. It has to be like rice. After this operation the next step is the seasoning. It shouldn’t be too spicy. The use of the pepper is not aloud, because it’s visible on the slices which are worse the appearance. The flavouring is made by some garlic and red paprika. At the end they are going to add a nitrate salt mix. The prepared meat pasta is going to get into a special type of bowel. It has very high steadiness, good resistivity, micro pore structure. The micro pores are very important, because the special type of mould can go inside through this micro pores. This “nobly mould” takes the characteristic taste of the salami. The last step is the cold fumigation (it takes 8-10 days ), and curing ( 90 days ).

3.3. The wide palette of food by Pick

The Pick, as the biggest meet factory in Hungary, and as a market leader, produces a wide range of meat products. Also the fresh meat, and salamis, hams, smoked, and non-smoked products. The company try to cover the full Hungarian market, and demand. The main profile is based on the dried products. These products are able to sell in the whole country, and abroad. The fresh products are taking a smaller part of the product scale, because these can only be sold in the near from Szeged, from the company. To transport the fresh meat, is too expensive, and it would be give an extra advantage for the concurrency. So the most important part of the product palette is the smoked, dried, packed, transportable products.
The leader is the special Hungarian Wintersalami, which is available in four different sizes. The normal is 1,25 kg, the middle is 0,8 kg, the tourist 0,4 kg, and the mini 0,25 kg.

They recognized ad the beginning, that to the dynamic growing they need high quality products, motivated and qualified employers and maybe the most important: varied palette of products. Today the scale of Pick’s products is very wide. It consists of more than one hundred type of products.
