The story

Caractère de Cochon Paris: Artisanal Charcuterie and Sandwiches on Rue Charlot

The Visionary Behind the Counter

Caractère de Cochon delivers a specialized charcuterie experience at 42 Rue Charlot in Paris, managed by owner Solo Raveloson since 2014. He maintains a charcuterie-obsessed approach to sourcing, ensuring every item meets high standards. Shelves display an assortment of canned goods and condiments, framing the refrigerated cases where cured meats are stored for sale.

Rare Breeds and Regional Techniques

The inventory emphasizes distinct origins, showcasing a Mangalitza ham from Hungary and Tuscan peppered ham, with Iberico de Campo also available. Baked options introduce varied aromatics, including a parsley-dressed Bourgogne ham and a Vosges ham smoked over hay. A rosemary-scented ham from Provence adds herbal notes, while la babilla stands apart as a center-cut beef ham within the largely pork-based selection.

Sandwiches and Savory Preparations

Visitors can acquire products by weight or order ready-to-eat items. Tradition baguettes feature generous fillings, such as grand cru di Parma combined with Salers cheese or head cheese accompanied by cornichons. A single stick of Catalan fuet costs €0.60, while the liver terrine is priced at €36.50 per kilo. The liver terrine receives strong endorsement for its richness.

All parts of the pig are good – and as the happy owner of this charcuterie-obsessed joint since 2014, it’s not Solo Raveloson who’ll tell you otherwise! The shelves are lined with canned goods and condiments, while all kinds of cured meats fill the fridges, which you can take to go (by weight) or have made into a sandwich. Some of the cured hams include a Mangalitza from Hungary, Tuscan peppered ham, Iberico de Campo, and the baked ones include a parslied Bourgogne, a ham from the Vosges smoked over hay, one from Provence with rosemary, and one exception: la babilla, a center-cut of… beef ham! Other recommendations: the Catalan fuet (€0.60 for one small stick) and the liver terrine (€36.50 a kilo), a really damn good find. For us, the day we went for lunch: two tradition baguettes that were properly stuffed, one with a grand cru di Parma and Salers cheese, the other with head cheese and cornichons. // T.V.X.
