What Defines Salami, Chorizo, and Charcuterie-Worthy Cured Meats
Salami and chorizo are cured meats shaped by seasoning, fermentation, and time, with each style expressing its own
regional identity. In this collection you’ll find air-dried salami with clean, savory depth alongside chorizo defined by
garlic, paprika, and warmth, each chosen for balance, texture, and sliceability.
Rather than uniform deli-style products, these cured meats are selected for how they perform on a board and at the
table. Fat content, spice, and aging are carefully considered so each slice delivers flavor without overwhelming the
palate, making them ideal for composed charcuterie spreads.
To simplify entertaining, many customers start with charcuterie board kits
or add presentation essentials from cheese boards and utensils to build
a complete spread.
Pairing Salami and Chorizo for Charcuterie Boards
Salami and chorizo pair naturally with crisp textures and bright flavors. Serve them with
artisan crackers and crisp accompaniments to add structure, and balance
richness with briny accents from olives and antipasti.
Adding something creamy, such as selections from pâté, spreads, and rillettes,
creates contrast, while sweet or nutty elements from dried fruits, nuts, and seeds
round out the board.
For a finishing touch, try jams and spreads to balance spice and richness.
For beverages, cured meats often shine alongside sparkling wines or structured reds—explore
wine pairing kits to complete the experience.
Using Salami and Chorizo Beyond the Board
Salami is an easy upgrade for sandwiches, flatbreads, and antipasto-style salads, while chorizo brings immediate depth
to rice dishes, stews, and roasted vegetables. Because these meats are already cured and seasoned, a small amount can
transform a dish without added complexity.
Their versatility also makes them well suited for entertaining and gifting, especially when paired with curated
selections from cheese gift baskets and boxes.
