Made in the Italian “hunter” style, Olympia Provisions’ Cacciatore is a pork salami is built for adventure—whether that’s a mountain trail or your living room couch. Generously spiced with caraway, coriander, red chile, and black pepper, each slice delivers sweet pork richness with a savory, mushroomy bloom from its natural rind. A coarse grind and luscious pockets of fat melt on the tongue. Pair with Murray’s Cave Aged Greensward for some funk and fig crisps for sweetness.
“I love slicing this one thick and letting it come to room temp—the fat gets silky, and those warm spices really bloom. It’s my go-to for an easy snack board with olives.”

- Inspired by traditional Italian cacciatore, meaning “hunter,” this salami was originally designed to travel well—compact, shelf-stable, and deeply satisfying after a long day outdoors.
- Olympia Provisions uses high-quality pork and a natural hog casing, allowing beneficial mold cultures to develop on the exterior. That classic white bloom lends a subtle earthy aroma reminiscent of fresh button mushrooms and damp forest air.
- The spice blend leans warm and aromatic: caraway and coriander bring gentle citrus notes, while black pepper and red chile add balanced heat without overpowering the pork’s natural sweetness.
- A coarse grind gives this salami its signature texture, with pockets of creamy fat that create a succulent bite despite its dry-aged structure.
- Established in 2009, Olympia Provisions was Oregon’s first USDA-approved salumeria.
- Founder Elias Cairo, a first-generation Greek-American, grew up around charcuterie—his father would often craft his own meats at home.
- His upbringing, along with his travels and apprenticeships around Europe, inspired him to start Olympia Provisions, to share these traditional techniques with Americans.
- The company uses antibiotic-free pork and high-quality ingredients like freshly ground spices.
- They form their meats with natural casings and allow them to age naturally, without relying on hot-incubation, cooking, or irradiation.
