Established in 2014 by James and Lucy 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 high welfare pork as well as locally sourced ingredients and suppliers where possible - such as local Dorset cider and cheese.

Learn how to make traditional charcuterie at our acclaimed one day charcuterie courses, or gift an experience.

Whether you’ve always wanted to make your own chorizo or even bacon, our hands on one day charcuterie course will give you the confidence and know-how to cure meat at home.

You’ll also take home goodies to tuck in to as well.
