Charcuterie (pronounced shar-koo-tuh-ree) is the traditional art of preparing and assembling cured meats and meat products.
Originating from France, the word itself comes from "chair" meaning flesh and "cuit" meaning cooked.
Historically, charcuterie was developed as a method of preserving meats before refrigeration was available, using techniques such as curing, smoking, and drying.
At Cobble Lane Cured, we honour this tradition by sourcing high-quality British meats from trusted local producers and farmers. Our charcuterie is carefully cut, cured, smoked, and hung to perfection, ensuring each slice is packed with flavour.
