Olympia Provisions, an authentic and house-made charcuterie and meats company based in Portland, Oregon, began as Oregon’s first USDA-certified salumeria and now offers food-lovers three Portland restaurant locations, a food cart, and online product availability nationwide. Salumist and owner, Elias Cairo, grew up a first-generation Greek-American, with a father who made charcuterie at home. After five years in Switzerland under master chef Annegret Schlumpf, Cairo completed a chef apprenticeship. Utilizing the finest ingredients, he developed his skills and passion for making charcuterie, and the experience affirmed his beliefs – handmade is better. Back in Portland, Cairo set out to approach the craft of charcuterie with purity and patience, recreating a nearly extinct old-world technique that’s seldom seen in America.
