National Charcuterie Day is a good excuse to build a board—and we have two flavorful cured meat picks to add to yours.
Short Creek Farm: Old-School Salami, Naturally Aged
New England’s Short Creek Farm takes an old-school approach to salami, using slow fermentation and natural aging to develop deep, layered flavor.
Their Classic Salami is made with high-quality heritage-breed pork, fresh herbs, and freshly ground spices. It’s a versatile choice for a board, pairing easily with everything from creamy cheeses to sharp, aged varieties.
For a little more excitement, the Siciliano Salami puts a Southern Italian-inspired spin on Finocchiona. Toasted fennel and citrus zest bring brightness, while a touch of chili adds just enough heat to keep things interesting.
Slice them thin and pair with your favorite cheeses, fruit, preserves, and something crunchy for a board with plenty of texture and flavor.
Three Little Pigs: Jambon de Paris
With more than 50 years of experience, Three Little Pigs brings French culinary tradition to approachable, everyday charcuterie. The brand focuses on quality ingredients and time-honored recipes designed to make good food easy to enjoy.
Their Jambon de Paris is made according to French culinary technique, flavored with a delicate blend of spices, and gently tumbled for 18 hours to develop tenderness. It is then slowly cooked sous-vide in its own juices, creating a tender, flavorful ham that is perfect for slicing onto a charcuterie board.
Pair it with your favorite cheeses, cornichons, mustard, or a little fruit for a classic French-inspired spread. Add it alongside Short Creek’s salami, and you’ve got two flavorful options to bring a little more variety to your next charcuterie board.
