Cold Meats

At N1, leading Cape Town meat wholesalers, we offer a wide variety of delicious cold meats - ranging from pastrami and Russians to Parma ham and German salami loaf. A firm favourite amongst many, cured and smoked meats have been around since the earliest time of man – one of the first recorded recipes for ‘salted pork’ comes from Cato the Elder, a Roman statesman and historian who lived around 200 BC.

Charcuterie is the name given to cold meats and meat dishes, but it embodies so much more. Considered a French appetizer, the charcuterie platter has come into its own and many eateries and home cooks now offer it as more than just an hors d’oeuvre, so if you’re wanting to put together a feast of sausages, pates and terrines; here’s the perfect charcuterie guide from wholesale meat South Africa.
