The Charcuterie Champ From West Loop Salumi Returns as Salumi Chicago | Eater Chicago

"A newly launched salumi brand set to resume production in late July and to develop a retail concept likely in the West Loop; the founder has partnered with a finance professional new to hospitality to create a communal-style spot offering cheese, charcuterie, tinned seafood and beer, wine, and cider. Production will come from a large new facility, with an emphasis on removing sulfites, sourcing meat from small Midwestern farmers (especially in Illinois), continuing popular items like pork snack sticks, and introducing new collaborative products such as prosciutto, wild boar salumi, a beer-infused salumi, a blood chorizo, and a halal-certified wagyu bresaola. Initial retail placement is planned at specialty shops locally, with broader distribution targeted to several other states." - Kat Odell
