Salami: Rosette d’Oregon & Chorizo Rioja - get yourself two different types of single stick salami so there’s some variety. I like the pasture-raised Rosette d’Oregon from our Farmers Network line, which has tasting notes of Juniper, Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and of course, Jacobsen Sea Salt. Our Chorizo Rioja is a crowd-pleaser; sweet and smoked paprika, garlic and oregano.

Pâté: Green Peppercorn gives you a dense option, while our Pork Liver Mousse provides the spreadable option. Make sure to shower it with lots of sea salt and olive oil.

Pickles: We use beets and cauliflower here, but any pickled vegetable will do the trick. The more acid the better on a big meat board!
