about us
true to our brooklyn roots
At Brooklyn Cured, our flavor profiles are inspired by the cultural diversity and culinary history of Brooklyn neighborhoods that have attracted hard-working people from all over the world.
We started by selling our meats at local farmer’s markets, and now our products are available at top grocery stores nationwide.
through the years
September 19, 2010
First day in business! Scott wheeled a cooler full of sausages to a farmer’s market stand in Manhattan, where he promptly sold out of product in under 4 hours.
2010 - 2013
We made all products by hand with a small team of 3 people in Industry City in Brooklyn.
Consulting in Paris
A Michelin-starred French restaurant group imported Scott to Paris to consult on how to make New York deli classics, such as hot dogs and pastrami.
2014
We launched our products in larger retailers throughout the New York City Tri-State area. Moved to a larger USDA production facility to keep up with growing demand.
2016: Introduced dry-cured charcuterie
It took years to refine our recipes and find the right production space for the innovative charcuterie we wanted to make. We began distributing products to multiple regions throughout the country
2019: A Salami Evolution is born!
We launched our innovative line of Cocktail-Inspired Salami inspired by Brooklyn cocktail culture and the popularity of cocktail bars in our home borough.
2021
Our Cocktail-Inspired Salami line gains popularity, as our Pork Salami with Mezcal and Lime was recognized with a Good Food Award.
2024
Our mission is to bring everyone to the table, so we created Salami Trios which offer great variety for parties, as well as Snack Packs so everyone can enjoy our products on the go.
Founder’s Message
I was drawn to the food business and charcuterie because cured meats and sausages were always served at family gatherings. These foods represent love and connection, and they are part of our DNA. Our products are meant to be shared, and I see it as a conduit for connecting and celebrating with others.
We make products that are unique and diverse so we can bring everyone to the table.
“I started making salami in a wine cellar in the basement of a Michelin-starred restaurant, and fell in love with the craft of charcuterie.”

Cooking with my mother and grandmother to learn their beloved family recipes. My mother’s eggplant parmesan and my grandmother’s sausage stuffing are iconic in our family, and I’m fortunate to be able to make them for others.

Every holiday season, our family receives a plate of Struffoli from my grandma. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how important it is to have these recipes written down. Last Christmas season, she taught me how she makes them, with her own special tips & tricks to get them just right.
