This week on Executive Suite: Stefano and Davide Dukcevich, co-owners of Daniele Foods, the Burrillville-based Italian meat manufacturer.

Daniele was founded nearly four decades ago by Vlado Dukcevich, who came to America from Italy and was attracted to Burrillville in part by its fresh air. His two sons, Stefano and Davide, now play a significant role in the family business and discuss a $50 million expansion project the company recently began. They also demonstrate how to carve a proscittuo ham, discuss why they stayed in Rhode Island and preview a new local product line.
