Get to know:Curing Rebels Brighton Salami

Tasting Note

Brighton Salami is rich, savoury, and beautifully balanced with a hit of aromatic fennel and proper peppery warmth from top-notch Tellicherry black peppercorns. The pork fat melts away on the tongue, leaving a long, gently spiced finish. Its a proper crowd-pleaser classic enough for a traditional board, but with just enough personality to stand out. You can enjoy this on its own or use in cooking with dishes like pasta with roasted red pepper and garlic oil or with cheese such as mild blue cheese, like Gorgonzola Dolce, or hard goats cheese, such as Garrotxa or Rosary Ash.

Pair this with:

• Flint Vineyard, Charmat Rose
• Pearl Mountain, Flight of the Drongo
• Tenuta de Melo, Barbera

Kate Says

This ones a total fridge essential. The flavours bold but not bossy you can chuck it on a pizza, sneak a slice with a beer, or dress it up for a proper board. And knowing the pigs were raised right and its all handmade makes it taste even better. Definitely a go-to.

Producer Info

Curing Rebels are a small team based in Brighton doing charcuterie their own way with proper ethics, bold flavours, and a load of care. They source high-welfare native breed pigs from just up the road in the South Downs the kind of pork you want for salami, with great fat and flavour from a life lived outdoors.

The Brighton Salami is their love letter to traditional Italian salumi but done British-style. They season it with crushed fennel seeds and cracked Tellicherry peppercorns, then ferment and air-dry it slowly in small batches. That slow, natural curing builds layers of flavour and lets the quality of the meat shine.

Its not just about taste either theyre big on giving back. Every pack sold chips in towards food education through their partnership with the Prept Foundation, helping young people get stuck into the world of food and hospitality. So when you tuck into a slice, youre supporting something good too.
