Gil Ferreira
Curesmith
ABOUT
Gil started his meat journey in 1978 when he was just five years old. The first piece of “furniture” he bought with his own money when he moved out of his mother’s home in 1994 was a WEBER Kettle BBQ.
For the past 17 years, Gil has been curing meats as a hobbyist and commercial curesmith. In 2019 Gil, with his family, moved to Poland, where he is now focused on building a digital media business promoting the curing of meat.
PreservePigs: The Art of the Curesmith” is a book documenting Gil’s journey with charcuterie. The book is for newcomers (AND experienced curesmiths).
