Salami Making Workshops & Classes

Hampshire Salami has a reputation for delivering the most comprehensive salami making and meat curing courses in the UK.

Now we launch our new center for charcuterie making CURED – British School of Charcuterie. Check out https://www.facebook.com/SalamiSchool/

Our workshops are very hands on, catering for small groups. You will learn: Italian butchery, breaking down a whole pig for meat curing, technical curing, salting, salami making, fermentation, and maturing of all products. You will be taking the first step on a path of discovery that will help you to understand the process of meat curing and preservation.

‘Nose to Tail Curing’ – a ‘Pig in a Day’ – is a practical hands on course that can be tailored for either the novice, for chefs, for butchers and other food professionals.

‘Whole Muscle Curing’ – covers the basic aspects of whole muscle curing, where students learn how to  butcher the animal and making Capocollo, Lonza, Prosciutto Crudo, Pancetta and Bresaola, to name a few products.
