Looking to impress your holiday guests with a world-class charcuterie board or sandwich spread? Our Deli Counter boasts the finest selection of cured meats imaginable! From delicate prosciutto to bold bresaola, this handy guide has everything you need to know about cured meats.
Prosciutto is perhaps the most popular of the cured meats, and it’s easy to see why! Its delicately sweet, salty, and lightly smoky flavor pairs perfectly with a wide range of accompaniments.
Bresaola is sliced extremely thin and made with a simple recipe of beef, salt, and time. Between its deep color and peppery, meaty flavor, Bresaola has risen to popularity once again as people gravitate toward protein-driven diets.
Jamón ibérico De Bellota is known as the jewel of Spain. Created from an ancient Spanish breed of pig, these hogs are fed acorns, wild herbs, and mushrooms before being carefully tended to during a three-year curing time. The result is a sweet, rich, and complex ham that melts in your mouth.
Genoa is one of the most popular salamis and originated in the Genoa region of Italy. Its rich and clean flavor profile makes it a popular addition to everything from charcuterie boards to sandwiches, but it pairs particularly well with provolone cheese.
Soppressata, unlike traditional salami, has a much coarser grind and is often mixed with red pepper flakes. However, it is salted and preserved through air drying just as salami is. Soppressata is excellent on its own or can be served with a sliced Asiago.
Prosciutto Cotto means "cooked or baked ham" in Italian. Though prosciutto cotto is cooked rather than cured, its light flavor and delicate texture make it the perfect addition to your collection of cured meats. Our Rosemary Cotto ham is great when layered on crackers with other flavors like fresh vegetables, herbs, or an artisan mustard.
Mortadella is an Italian favorite traditionally studded with pistachios. It is typically the star of muffuletta sandwiches, but you can also try it with a creamy mild cheese and a glass of Lambrusco.
Our team is ready to slice every meat to order, thick or thin, exactly as you like it! We’re proud to carry one of the largest selections of deli meats in the state, and you’re bound to find something you love.
