What Is Charcuterie?
Charcuterie is the art of preparing and preserving cured meats, a tradition rooted in French and European cuisine that has become a staple of modern entertaining. The term covers a wide range of products including salami, bresaola, prosciutto, chorizo, and cured ham, each made using techniques like dry-curing, smoking, and air-drying to develop deep, complex flavours. At The Cheese Wedge Company, we champion British charcuterie producers who apply these time-honoured methods to locally reared meat. The result is charcuterie that rivals anything from the continent, with full traceability and a shorter supply chain.
Why Buy British Charcuterie?
British charcuterie has undergone a renaissance in recent years, with small-batch producers winning international awards for their salami, bresaola, and cured meats. By choosing British, you’re supporting independent makers, reducing food miles, and getting products made from high-welfare, British-reared livestock. Our range features cuts from Tempus Foods, whose charcuterie is made in the Cotswolds using free-range and rare-breed pork.
