Olympia Provisions is Oregon’s first USDA-approved salumeria, dedicated to crafting premium European-style cured meats using traditional methods. Founded in 2009 in Portland, the company was born from a deep passion for authentic charcuterie, inherited by founder Elias Cairo from his father and perfected through years of training in Europe.
Driven by the vision of making artisan meats without compromise, Elias gathered a team of experts and established Olympia Provisions in a small workshop inside the historic Olympic Cereal Mill building. Over the years, the company has grown into one of America’s leading cured meat producers, now operating a 34,000-square-foot production facility alongside multiple restaurants across Portland.
Their product range includes premium salamis, sausages, pâtés, and pickled delicacies, all crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a deep respect for tradition. The quality and authenticity of Olympia Provisions’ products are recognized across the United States – they are available in gourmet shops and specialty stores, as well as through their "Salami of the Month Club" subscription, allowing cured meat enthusiasts to enjoy their exceptional products nationwide.
