Carolina Charcuterie Company named Business of the Quarter

July 16, 2026

The Town of Irmo announce Carolina Charcuterie Company as the newest Business of the Quarter. Located in the heart of Irmo, SC at 7971 N. Woodrow Street, Suite 2, this local establishment has quickly become a cornerstone of the regional culinary scene, pairing a deep love for the Midlands with an innovative, artisan approach to bringing people together.

Since opening its doors in 2020, Carolina Charcuterie Company has redefined local dining and entertaining by seamlessly blending premium ingredients, fine wines, and handcrafted presentation. Whether providing a vibrant lunch spot for a single guest or coordinating elaborate full-service catering layouts for major regional celebrations, the enterprise has rooted itself firmly in the daily fabric of the community.

A Legacy of Community Investment

For founder Tony Malizia, Carolina Charcuterie Company represents the continuation of a 25-year professional journey dedicated to championing the economic expansion, tourism development, and unique cultural identity of the Lake Murray region.

“Irmo has been home to my career for more than 25 years. I was fortunate to be part of the team that developed, opened, and operated Irmo’s first two hotels in 1999. Later, as Director of Sales for Capital City/Lake Murray Country, I worked closely with local governments, businesses, and community leaders to promote tourism and economic development throughout the region. From the Lake Murray Fireworks Celebration and boat parades to fishing tournaments, sporting events, and destination marketing initiatives, our goal was always to strengthen the local economy and showcase everything that makes Irmo and the Lake Murray region such a special place to live and visit. When I founded Carolina Charcuterie Company in 2020, it felt like coming full circle – continuing to invest in and serve the same community that has meant so much to me throughout my career. Every board we create and every event we cater is our way of bringing people together and celebrating the place we proudly call home. Receiving this recognition from the Town of Irmo is truly an honor, and I am deeply grateful for the support of our customers, neighbors, and community.” -Tony Malizia, Founder
