ABOUT

Established in 2014 by James Smart, The Real Cure are pioneers of the British charcuterie movement. Our bespoke processes have been refined over many years, enabling us to create consistently outstanding British charcuterie.

Our salami, chorizo and air dried hams are made using traditional artisan processes of smoking, fermenting, curing and air drying. Our drying chambers contain a uniquely curated blend of natural moulds which add unrivaled depth of flavour during the ageing process(think cheese!).

We ensure everything we use is responsibly sourced, which means wild deer and free range pork as well as locally sourced ingredients and suppliers where possible - such as local Dorset cider and cheese.
