CharcutNuvo: Cleaner, Kinder, Better
Pronunciation
CharcutNuvo is pronounced as “Shar-Koot” (short for Charcuterie*) and “New-Vo” (a play on the French word for “new”).
Cleaner: Sourcing and Production
At Charcutnuvo, we take pride in our commitment to sourcing high-quality ingredients. Our Denver-based sausage company uses Regenerative Organic Certified (ROA) 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef in our organic beef sausages. Additionally, our chicken, beef, and pork products are non-GMO, antibiotic-free, and hormone-free, with lower sodium content. Crafted in 300 lb batches, our fully cooked sausages offer impeccable flavor and texture.
Kinder: Community and Environmental Impact
We go beyond sausages by prioritizing philanthropy in children’s education and supporting sustainable agriculture. Join us in Denver for a tour showcasing our dedication to community and environmental stewardship.
Better: Craftsmanship and Quality
Charcutnuvo, a privately held company led by a 4th-generation sausage maker, combines traditional European techniques with modern innovative flair. Our legacy, originating in the late 1800s in Switzerland, continues on with the 5th generation.
Every day, we aspire to create the best-tasting sausages for you to enjoy with your family and friends. Our carefully crafted flavors, pure and simple ingredients, and conscientiously sourced HEALTHIER meats not only enhance taste but also provide an honest indulgence that will change how you think about sausage.
Charcutnuvo Regenerative Pledge
We source our beef from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished, certified organic farms, prioritizing soil health, biodiversity, and responsible land management by eliminating synthetic chemicals.
We support Holistic (Rotational) Grazing practices for animal well-being and land regeneration.
We collaborate with sustainable farmers and ranchers, bolstering local economies and using resources responsibly.
We never use added sugars and minimize unnecessary fillers.

Did you know that most sausage companies do not actually make the sausages they sell? At Charcutnuvo, we believe the only way to produce amazingly delicious and conscientiously made products is to make them ourselves. We have owned and operated our production facility in Denver, Colorado, for over 55 years, producing, smoking, packaging, and shipping everything from this one location. That gives us ultimate control over how our products are made and allows us to have 100% control of the meat and ingredients that go into them. We frequently offer public tours to demonstrate the meticulous care and pride we take in our work.
