Our assessment
Olympia Provisions is the editorial pick for American charcuterie. Founded by Elias Cairo in Portland, OR, Cairo trained in Europe under traditional Italian and French masters and was the first US producer to win SOFI awards across multiple categories. The catalog spans dry-cured salami (chorizo, finocchiona, sweetheart, saucisson sec), pâtés, rillettes, mousse, and sliced prosciutto. Sourcing is from regional Pacific Northwest pasture-raised pork and Wagyu beef. Available via direct shipping, gift boxes, and subscription. The brand carries an editorial premium because of how distinctive the catalog is, there's no mainstream American competitor at this depth and quality. Best fit for charcuterie boards, holiday gifting, and the cured-meat enthusiast. Direct affiliate program. Premium pricing, single salami $18-30, full charcuterie boards $80-150.
