They are 100% free from artificial colors and preservatives and made only from simple, natural ingredients.
Pepperoni
Hot and zesty, these meatless pepperoni slices deliver a spicy kick bold enough to top any pizza. Or, try cooking them with tomato sauce for an indulgent and satisfying hero filling!
Spicy Salame
This salame is spicy, seasoned, and flavorful, made with simple plant-based ingredients. Top a pizza or add to a tasty club with spinach and avocado for a real flavor sensation.
Carpaccio
They said it couldn’t be done but Mia has discovered the secret to vegan carpaccio. These delicate and aromatic slices are equally at home on the charcuterie board or sandwiched between fresh wholewheat bread.
Prosciutto
Mia’s meatless prosciutto is smoky and robust with the supple, velvety texture of regular prosciutto. Enjoy on a pizza with vegan mozzarella and fresh arugula, or in a bacon-free BLT!

Why does Mia include sourdough culture in its Plant-Based Deli Slices?
One of the key ingredients in traditional Italian deli meats is time. Slow curing is a process that not only preserves the food but also enriches and deepens the flavors over time. Mia’s talented Italian plant-based innovators wanted to find a way to emulate this process using only plant-based ingredients. Sourdough culture is the live fermented culture that gives sourdough bread its unique, delicious flavor, made through introducing a flour and water mix to wild yeasts. Mia uses it to add a rich tanginess to their products, deepening and grounding the flavors, just like a curing process! Pretty neat, huh?
