INVENTION WITH INTENTION
For over 20 years Coro’s been bouncin’ to a different beat in Seattle. We’ve worked to master the art of old world salumi but have never been bound its traditions. We’re after something more, something fresh, something uniquely delicious.
With careful craftsmanship and untamed imagination, we turn the finest all-natural ingredients into sensationally inventive flavors. Explore, improvise, refine, repeat. That’s how we do it. There’s just one rule: it’s gotta be damn good or it ain’t good enough.
WHY CORO?
Coro is the Italian word for chorus. It speaks to the wonderful chorus of craveable flavors in everything we make at Coro, but also the chorus of people and harmony of craft it takes to create such delight in each bite. For over 20 years we’ve been exploring the world of salumi by using the finest ingredients to create unique and inventive flavors. This is what sets us apart from the rest. But to bring those flavors to life calls for a combination of art, attention, skill, and patience. Here’s what makes us different:
What Makes Us Unique
INTENTIONAL INGREDIENTS:
Great food is made with great ingredients. We use only all-natural ingredients, ethically sourced. Our vegetarian-fed pork is American Humane certified and never, ever treated with antibiotics. We use only the highest quality spices and hand mix them in small batches.
EASY TO ENJOY:
We put the work in so you don’t have to. There are no instructions needed, no peeling required for any of our salamis. Our sliced packs are perfectly sized for your favorite cracker and perfectly portioned for your favorite charcuterie board. Just open and enjoy.
INNOVATIVE PROCESS:
At Coro, we’ve developed our own unique slow-aging process that delivers the quality, texture and unique flavor our customers love. We start with ethically sourced pork and fat then use our proprietary double-grind technique so we get just the right proportion of fat and meat. Next, we slowly and carefully mix to ensure the right marbling and texture, carefully adding fresh and intentionally sourced spices in small batches along the way. Then the magic. We use our own culture and all-natural curing agent made from celery salt methodically stuffing and hanging, by hand, on our racks. The racks are moved to our state-of-the-art curing rooms which ensure an exact humidity and temperature. Here our meats ferment and age slowly, because slow food is better food. Once the salami is ready to eat, we pre-peel the casings by hand so you don’t have to mess with them, then vacuum seal the salamis to ensure optimal freshness and shelf life.
SUSTAINABLE WORKPLACE AND ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES:
It’s important to us that we take good care of the people and places that give us so much. For us it’s a journey not a destination, and we’re constantly working to do even better. Coro is committed to fair labor practices that pay a living wage and create a safe workplace, free from intimidation and discrimination, providing a workplace that’s fulfilling for everyone. Together, we work to care for our environment by partnering with our suppliers to source sustainable ingredients, implementing efficient production processes that result in minimal waste, reducing our carbon footprint, and prioritizing sustainable packaging.
