Carmela has always been trusted for what anchors the table — exceptional cheese, curated charcuterie, and thoughtfully sourced pantry staples. Now, we are bringing that same integrity, discipline, and expertise to the center of the plate.
Introducing Port to Pasture, Carmela’s dedicated meat and seafood division within our Signature Portfolio.
Built exclusively around premium, traceable proteins, Port to Pasture unites fresh and frozen seafood with pasture-raised beef, pork, poultry, and game under one chef-first program. It is not an expansion. It is a refinement. A focused commitment to sourcing proteins with purpose, performance, and provenance.
As outlined in our launch catalog, this division is rooted in trusted partnerships, intentional selection, and consistent quality — what you specify is what arrives. No surprises. No shortcuts
