Vermont Salumi

What Vermont Salumi does

Vermont Salumi is an artisanal charcuterie producer founded in 2011 by Peter Colman Roscini in Barre, Vermont. The company applies traditional Italian curing methods — including training derived from the Norcini butchers of Umbria — to produce salamis, whole muscle cuts, sausages, prosciutto, and pancetta. Operations are organized around a small production team of 11–50 employees at the company's Vermont facility, with distribution concentrated regionally across New England.

The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market: direct-to-consumer sales through its own e-commerce website (including a Subscribe & Save subscription option), wholesale distribution via the Faire.com marketplace serving independent retailers, and an owned Italian Market retail location in Barre, VT that doubles as a brand experience asset. The product surface has been extended beyond cured meats into branded apparel, accessories, and gift bundles, with price points ranging from roughly $8 entry-level items up to approximately $135 premium gift offerings. Three named wholesale customers (Gina, Kimberly, Willard) are flagged as small independent accounts, consistent with a long-tail rather than anchor-account wholesale strategy.

The company is privately held and founder-owned, with no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or leadership transitions beyond the 2011 founding. Its strategic posture is incremental: deepening channels (DTC, subscription, wholesale, retail), broadening the product line within its artisanal provenance narrative, and expanding the regional New England footprint rather than pursuing rapid national or international scale.
