Charcuterie

We cure our own meats. Nothing like it in North Eastern Ontario.

Almost nobody does this. Most charcuterie is bought in — somebody orders cured meat by the case, arranges it nicely, and calls it a board.

We cure our own, in house, from locally sourced proteins. Every board we build starts with meat we made ourselves, and then gets surrounded by remarkable artisan products from Canada, Italy and Spain, house-made and artisan pickled items, our own dips and spreads, and whatever else is worth eating this week.

That combination doesn't exist anywhere else in North Eastern Ontario. It's why regulars order this every year, and it's why it never tastes like the same board twice.

Choose your format

• In A Box — $130 — everything, arranged in a box, ready to open and put out
• On A Board — $145 — the same spread, displayed on a wood board

Both feed 2 to 4 people. Choose the board when it's going on a table and being looked at; choose the box when it's going in a car and being eaten.

What's on it

• House-cured meats — cured in our own kitchen from locally sourced proteins. This is the part nobody else does, and it's the reason the board tastes like a kitchen made it rather than a supplier did.
• Artisan finds from Canada, Italy and Spain — we work only with the producers and importers we think are the best, full stop
• Cheese — a mix of domestic and imported artisan varieties
• Pickled items — a blend of our own and artisan, which is where the surprise usually comes from
• House-made dips and spreads — made here.
• And the rest — crackers, chocolate, grapes, and the odds and ends that make a board feel generous

Why it's different

• We cure our own meat, in house, on site. No other charcuterie in the region starts with meat cured by the people serving it.
• It's genuinely never the same twice. We build around what's arrived and what's good. You will not get a repeat, and you will not get a boring one.
• It's built to be looked at. Layers, height, colour, texture — a board that becomes the centre of the room rather than a plate at the edge of it.
• It scales. This page is the two-to-four-person format. Feeding a room? We do grazing tables from 6 to 200 people — ask us for a quote.
