Olympia Provisions

Olympia Provisions is a Portland, Oregon-based artisan charcuterie company founded in 2009 that specializes in handcrafted European-style meats and charcuterie using traditional old-world techniques. The company was established by salumist Elias Cairo, who trained under master chef Annegret Schlumpf in Switzerland and brings first-generation Greek-American heritage to his craft. Olympia Provisions produces award-winning artisan charcuterie including salami, sausages, deli meats, snack sticks, pâté, and other specialty meat products using high-quality ingredients that support sustainable farming practices. The company operates multiple restaurants in Portland including Olympia Provisions Southeast, Alpenrausch, and Bar Casa Vale, offering European-inspired cuisine built on old-world techniques and local, seasonal produce. They serve both retail consumers through their online store and wholesale clients in the food service industry. Olympia Provisions offers various product lines including European charcuterie boxes, French charcuterie kits, happy hour kits, salami bouquets, subscription clubs, and complete charcuterie experiences. The company also provides catering services and has developed a strong reputation in the consumer packaged goods industry for their authentic approach to charcuterie making, utilizing nearly extinct old-world techniques seldom seen in America. Their products are crafted with purity and patience, emphasizing that handmade is better, and they maintain strict quality assurance and quality control standards in their meat department operations.
