Hands down the best high end butcher in all of Utah and also, creator of award winning salami and pate – Beltex are a must. Some of their meats and pates have won awards at the Good Food Awards in the Bay Area – one of THE most prestigious high end foodie fests in all of American. No mean feat,
Caputo’s
Home to on site cheese caves, Caputo’s age their own special cheese in house. The selection is jaw dropping and easily the largest in Utah. The staff are well trained and will guide you through their offerings plus give you a little nibble if you’re not sure. They also stock a full pantry including some top deli meats. If you can’t make it in person the sore delivers nationwide, including both meat and cheeses safely packed with dry ice.
Harmons
This Utahn based grocer with locations all over the state isn’t quite as high end as the above, but the selections are solid. Their in house bakeries are some of the best in the businesses and the range of meats and cheeses aren’t anything to sniff at. Usefully you can also find other accoutrement like pickles, condiments and fruits here. Harmons is a great place to round out your charcuterie with all the fixings.

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.
I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
