Formaggio Kitchen Charcuterie Club
Experience the Art of Charcuterie!
Charcuterie is the culinary art of preserving meat. With origins in France, the practice encompasses a variety of preservation techniques like curing, salting, smoking, drying, or cooking. While the most popular products are pork-based, charcuterie can be made from any type of meat, including but not limited to: duck, rabbit, veal, lamb, beef, and more. At Formaggio Kitchen we have a fully staffed charcuterie program where we make pâté and other preparations in-house. We also work with artisans both in the United States and abroad to source delicacies like Jamón ibérico from Spain or 'Nduja from Italy.
Our Charcuterie Club is perfect for the meat lover who wants to experience the endless possibilities that the art form of charcuterie has to offer.

August 2026 Selection
Rare and Unique
This month we’re highlighting some cured meats that you don’t see or experience as often.
A Small Good Lonza
A Small Good is a family-owned salumeria in Midcoast Maine making cured and smoked meats with a mix of old-world craft and new-world innovation. Their unique charcuterie products are cultured through wild fermentation and dry-aged with koji, giving them an added complexity and deep umami flavor.
Lonza is cured pork loin. A Small Good’s is cider-brined, rolled in toasted fennel and hot pepper, dry-cured, and then koji-aged to build a cured meat with deep umami savor, complex savory notes, and a lingering heat.
A Small Good Culatello
Culatello is a rare dry-cured ham from Italy made from the core muscle of a pig's hind leg (‘Culatello’ means ‘little backside’ in Italian). This cured meat is shaped like a small football, seasoned with salt, pepper, and wine, and traditionally aged inside a pork bladder. It has a deeper, more savory flavor than prosciutto. A Small Good’s version is made using their unique blend of wild fermentation on koji dry-aging.
Salame Rosa
Salame Rosa is a 'salame cotto,' meaning a cooked (rather than cured) salame. Its origins are from the city of Bologna in Italy; however, since it is very difficult to import meat into the United States, we source ours from our friends at Fra'Mani in California. To create this flavorful charcuterie, they coarsely chop prime cuts from the pork shoulder which gives the meat its distinctive mosaic-like look. It's seasoned with coriander, white pepper, and mace and studded with pistachios. Finally, it is slow-roasted with fruitwood to give it a slight smoky flavor. The texture is somewhere between deli ham and mortadella.
Lachsschinken
Lachsschinken is a dry-cured, cold-smoked pork loin. We source ours from German-American producer Schaller & Weber, whose charcuterie meisters are among a small number of craftsmen who produce this item in the United States. In fact, Schaller & Weber is the only company to produce it according to traditional German standards. Once the cut has been cured and smoked, it is then rolled in a hand-selected, thin layer of fat to lock in the moisture. As the Lachsschinken ages, the pork develops a flavor similar to smoked salmon. This unique meat should be chilled and sliced thin, and like lox, can be served with cream cheese, onions, and capers.
