Meet the Makers: Coro Foods
At Evergreen Custom Gifting we focus on curated, elevated, and locally-inspired keepsakes that create a meaningful connection to our destination. Partnering with fellow creative small business owners whenever possible. In our “Meet the Makers” series we feature the local artisans and makers that provide products for our gifts.
Today we highlight Coro Foods. For over 20 years Salumi has been making cured meats in Seattle by mixing old world techniques with modern thinking, new world flavors, and a belief that eating well is what we live for. Coro by Salumi offers the same beloved recipes customers have enjoyed for years, each handcrafted using a unique combination of art, attention, skill, and patience. Our unconventional spices and innovative processes conspire to create new and unexpected flavors which delight with every bite.

The Story Behind Coro Foods!
Coro, the Italian word for chorus, is a metaphor for not only the chorus of non-traditional flavors in our meats but also the chorus of voices at Salumi that come together to bring it to the world.
We are two women and longtime friends following in the footsteps of generations of pioneers in American Salumi. We are surrounded by a team of people that share our passion for what we create. Each of us has brought a unique palate and imagination to Salumi, making it what it is today and what it will be tomorrow.

What’s your favorite part of doing what you do?
Grigg and Veniard know that Salumi has always been a special alchemy of good food and good people; they also believe that cooking is about constant reinvention and evolution. As two females in the cured meats business, they understand what it’s like to push boundaries and be unexpected. With this in mind, the co-owners are taking the 20 year old company into the future with a new brand that they feel better expresses its essence – Coro by Salumi. Coro highlights the chorus of flavors that conspire to create a delicious, bold and tasty salami that is still grounded in the age-old art of Salumi making. Much like the partners themselves, Coro salumis will delight and surprise you. We can’t wait for you to try it.
