If you’re building out a charcuterie board and want something a little different from the usual prosciutto or salami, Brooklyn Cured Bresaola might be worth a look. This party-size pack caught our eye in the deli case, and the bold red packaging makes it easy to spot.
Bresaola is an air-dried, salt-cured beef that’s sliced thin like prosciutto, but it’s entirely pork-free. This version comes from Brooklyn Cured, a brand that leans into its charcuterie roots with a label touting award-winning credentials. The beef is raised without antibiotics or hormones and is vegetarian fed, according to the packaging.
What stands out here is the no nitrates or nitrites added claim (aside from what naturally occurs in celery powder), which is a nice touch for folks trying to avoid synthetic preservatives in cured meats. The party size format also means you’re getting a solid amount of meat for entertaining or meal prepping antipasto platters.
This looks like a solid pick for anyone who enjoys charcuterie but wants a pork-free alternative that still delivers that classic air-dried flavor profile. If you’re hosting or just want to elevate a weeknight snack board, Brooklyn Cured Bresaola seems like a win.
Bottom Line: A pork-free, air-dried beef option that should be a nice addition to any charcuterie spread.
