The Savory Saga of Montana's Prized Buffalo Salami

A Taste of the Wild West: Chalet Market's Buffalo Salami

Have you ever wondered what it's like to savor a piece of Montana's rugged landscape? At Chalet Market, we've captured the essence of the Big Sky Country in our award-winning Buffalo Salami. This isn't just any ordinary sausage – it's a testament to the rich flavors and hearty traditions that define our great state.

The Bison Behind the Bite

Our Buffalo Salami, also known as Bison Salami, is more than just a product; it's a celebration of Montana's heritage. We use 80% buffalo meat, sourced from the northern states where these majestic creatures roam freely. The remaining 20% is premium beef, creating a perfect balance that delivers a robust, tangy flavor with every slice.

But what makes our Buffalo Salami truly special? It's the passion and craftsmanship that Mark and Gwen Croghan, the heart and soul of Chalet Market, pour into every batch. Their hands-on approach ensures that each sausage meets the highest standards of quality and taste.

From Prairie to Plate: The Journey of Our Buffalo Salami

Sourcing the Finest Bison

At Chalet Market, we believe that great products start with great ingredients. That's why we've forged strong relationships with bison ranchers across the northern states. These partnerships allow us to source the finest bison meat, ensuring that our Buffalo Salami captures the true essence of the American West.

The Art of Flavor Crafting

Once we have our premium bison meat, the real magic begins. Our Buffalo Salami isn't just about the meat – it's about the perfect blend of spices that complement and enhance the natural flavors of the bison. A hint of garlic adds depth, while our proprietary blend of seasonings creates a profile that's uniquely Chalet Market.

Smoking: Where Tradition Meets Taste

Unlike some producers who use driers, we stay true to traditional methods. Our state-of-the-art smokehouse in Belgrade, Montana, is where our Buffalo Salami transforms from raw ingredients into a culinary masterpiece. The slow smoking process infuses each sausage with a rich, complex flavor that can only come from patience and expertise.

Award-Winning Quality: A Taste of Success

Reserve Grand Champion: A Testament to Excellence

Our commitment to quality hasn't gone unnoticed. In 2015, Chalet Market's Buffalo Salami was awarded the Reserve Grand Champion title at the Montana Meat Processors Convention. This recognition isn't just a feather in our cap – it's a validation of our dedication to crafting the finest bison products in the state.
