Meet travis

I spent ten years making meat under other companies' labels. Fermentation is always the first thing that gets cut — it costs time, and time is the most expensive thing in a plant, so they acidify instead and ship it out in three days. Gastros ferments 24 hours and hangs 21+ days. Salt is the preservative, the way it's been done for 2,000 years. I stopped eating store-bought salami years before I started making my own.

Ingredients:

Pork, Salt, Less Than 1% of the Following: Turbinado Sugar, Spices, Cayenne Pepper, Black Pepper, Fennel Seed, Celery Powder (Natural Cure), Cherry Powder, Water, Lactic Acid Starter Culture.

How it's made

That white coating is the traditional cure mold — a beneficial culture that's been part of dry-curing for centuries. As the salami ages, it forms an even layer across the casing, slowing how fast moisture leaves so the meat dries evenly, and crowding out what you don't want near curing meat. Same idea as the rind on a good wheel of cheese.

Our cure comes from celery powder. Celery contains naturally occurring nitrates — the same compounds that have preserved meat for centuries, just from a vegetable instead of a lab. That's why the label reads "no nitrate or nitrite added except for that naturally occurring." Same cure. No synthetic chemistry.

who gastros is for

  • THE BOARD BUILDER

    Pairs with a sharp cheese, crackers, and a glass of wine. No cooking required.
  • THE NO-TIME PROTEIN

    One ounce, no pan, no prep. Protein you can eat standing at the counter.
  • THE LABEL READER

    Four main ingredients. No added synthetic nitrite. Read ours, then go read theirs.
  • THE GIFT GIVER

    Looks good enough to give. Tastes good enough that you'll want to keep one for yourself.
  • THE NOSTALGIC

    Tastes like the salami from your grandfather, that local corner store, and the old country.
  • THE SKEPTIC

    Read the ingredient panel before you buy. That's exactly what we want you to do.
