Many complex systems are set in place to replicate the perfect environment for aging cheeses. It allows Caputo's to offer over 200 perfectly fresh farmstead cheeses. Cheese fanatics are welcome to drool as they peer through the huge glass wall into the cave. Old-World Butcher Shop: We love meat. So it’s no coincidence that when we came across the likes of talented chef Frody Volgger whose love of meat rivals ours, that a butcher shop would be born.Volgger hails from the northern Alto-Adige region of Italy where Germanic and Italian cultures influence the food and it usually hinges around great fresh cuts of meat and cured and smoked meat products. We offer fresh cuts of meat expertly butchered by Volgger himself as well as frozen cuts. We source ONLY pasture-raised (i.e. free range) heritage breeds of cow, pig, lamb, and more from local microranches. These guys not only cherish their animals, but they also cherish the land they use. Great meat is the cornerstone to any good salami and sausage. Volgger’s cured and smoked creations are mouthwatering and irresistible – just ask our crew. They’re happy to not only give you a sample, but sing praises about Volgger’s talent and dedication to creating meltingly good Speck, Jagdwurst, and an amazing like of fresh sausage (pork and lamb) using all local animals. Chocolate Central: Caputo's offers the largest selection of ultra premium chocolate in the United States, with over 300 different chocolate bars, including those most respected in the who's who of chocolatiers. Ask about the "chocolate file" and sample any bar. Caputo's is also the exclusive outlet in Utah for the best filled chocolates in the U.S., Chocolatier Blue. A gorgeous beveled glass case houses Chocolatier Blue's little masterpieces, which he hand makes using the world's best ingredients, including Amedei chocolate, a 77% butterfat, unpasteurized cream, fleur de sel sea salt and organic fruits and nuts. The Deli is a bustling neighborhood lunch spot where customers line up out the door for a selection of made-to-order sandwiches, salads and pasta.
