🧑🍳 How It’s Made
🧑🍳 How It’s Made
TRADITION MEETS CRAFT
At Gastros, we don’t cut corners. Every salami is handmade the old-school way — using pasture-raised Berkshire pork, clean ingredients, and plenty of patience.
Here’s how real salami gets made:
STEP BY STEP
1. Select the Pork
We start with heritage Berkshire pork from small American farms — always pasture-raised, never treated with antibiotics or GMOs.
2. Season & Mix
Each recipe begins with carefully balanced spices, sea salt, and natural ingredients like bourbon, wine, chili, or fennel — depending on the flavor profile.
3. Stuff & Shape
The mixture is packed into natural beef fibrous casings, allowing the salami to breathe, dry evenly, and hold its traditional shape.
4. Hang & Dry-Cure
Each salami cures slowly for 6 weeks in a controlled environment — where bold flavor, rich aroma, and perfect texture naturally develop.
5. Peel the Casing
Once fully cured, the outer casing is removed, leaving only perfectly aged salami — ready to slice and savor.
6. Hand-Pack & Ship
Every stick is wrapped and packed by hand, ensuring freshness and quality from our facility to your board.

Frequently asked questions
How much does each salami weigh?
How much does each salami weigh?
Each stick is 5 oz — the traditional artisan size — and makes about 5 servings. During our six-week dry-curing process, salami naturally loses 30–40% of its original weight as moisture evaporates. What’s left is concentrated flavor, richness, and texture packed into every 5 oz stick.
Why is your salami more expensive than store-bought?
Why is your salami more expensive than store-bought?
Great question. Here’s how we compare:
- Gastros Salami → about $3.20 per ounce
- Olympia Provisions → about $4.00 per ounce
- Fra’Mani → about $3.75 per ounce
We’re priced below or equal to other premium salami brands, while using 100% pasture-raised heritage Berkshire pork — a meat so premium it’s served in Michelin-starred restaurants.
Mass brands use fillers, additives, and quick-curing shortcuts. Gastros salami is:
- Dry-cured for six weeks (not 2–3 days).
- Made in small batches, by hand.
- Free from fillers, nitrates, nitrites, GMOs, and junk.
You’re paying for the world’s best pork, made the right way — and still getting better value than other premium salami brands.

Do I need to remove the casing?
Do I need to remove the casing?
Nope! Unlike most salami, our natural casing is removed after the six-week curing process, before packaging. That means all you have to do is slice and enjoy — no peeling, no waste, just ready-to-eat artisanal salami.
Why does the size, look, or texture vary slightly?
Why does the size, look, or texture vary slightly?
This is the beauty of small-batch, artisanal salami. Each batch is handmade, air-dried, and crafted without industrial shortcuts. Variation in texture or appearance is part of the authenticity — and what makes it better than “cookie-cutter” factory salami.
