Calgary is home to two exceptional salami makers. Pioneer Butchery makes five small-batch salamis from Alberta pork — Tuscan, lemon pistachio, cranberry walnut, landjager, and spicy Sicilian. Salt Craft Meat Co. brings five fermented, aged salamis using heritage recipes — fennel, truffle, Calabrian chilies, black pepper and wine, and caraway and coriander. Both use Alberta-raised meats, traditional fermentation, and whole spices. No shortcuts, no fillers.
Pioneer Butchery Salami
Pioneer's Tuscan is a classic Italian-style salami, simple and savoury. Lemon pistachio is bright and nutty — a showstopper on any board. Cranberry walnut is sweet and savoury, built for holiday gatherings. Landjager is a German-style snack stick, perfect for hiking packs. Spicy Sicilian brings heat from Calabrian chilies without overwhelming the pork. All five are gluten-free, made from Alberta pork, and naturally aged.
Salt Craft Meat Co. Salami
Salt Craft's fennel salami is the entry point — approachable, slightly sweet, built for sandwiches. The truffle salami is the showstopper: earthy, rich, and unmistakable. Calabrian chilies and garlic brings steady heat. Black pepper and wine is savoury and bold, aged with red wine. Caraway and coriander is herbaceous and complex, a nod to European tradition. Each one is fermented and aged in Calgary, made from Alberta-raised meats.
