About Charlito's Cocina

Charlito’s Cocina is a serious cured meat maker, one who doesn’t take itself too seriously, crafting premium salumi with an ancient, transformative process to facilitate meaningful human connections. We are a New York born and bred producer of small batch charcuterie. Our products are inspired by the transformative powers of salt, air flow, temperature, humidity, and time, powers that are celebrated in cultures around the world. With the right combination of these elements, we take a highly perishable ingredient- raw meat- and, by leaving it in the temperature/humidity zone where it’s most prone to perishing, make it do the opposite, not only preserving it indefinitely, but elevating its value and making it delicious. Additionally, Charlito’s Cocina is inspired the cultural mosaic of New York City; the way people come from all over the world and, with their respective life experiences, complement one another to create something new and beautiful. We exist to make people feel good, to offer a vehicle for coming together, and for eating well. We celebrate thinking differently, keeping things interesting, and elevating charcuterie assortments by creating products that are made with sustainably sourced raw materials, transparent ingredient statements, and old school technique. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel. We’re just trying to help keep it structurally sound, so that it keeps on turning. Read their story
