Charcuterie
We may be best known for our cheese, but we put our meat front and center—literally.  Entire legs of Jamón Serrano and hand-tied salame dangle from the ceiling in the window. Sliced, diced, or bone-in and whole, all our specialty meat selections offer terrific Old World flavor.

We offer unctuous pâtés ranging from earthy, classic Pâté de Campagne to ultra-rich, silky mousse pâtés. Or partake in the simple, porky indulgence of Berkshire Heritage Ham, made from a traditional breed of pig originating in England.

For our range of salame, taste comes first, followed closely by production methods that we respect. We feature Fra’Mani salame, a small-batch, hand-maker of cured meat headed by Paul Bertolli, formerly of Chez Panisse and author of Cooking by Hand. Fra’Mani salame is made in San Francisco according to time-tested Italian techniques. It is delicately seasoned and replete with the rich taste of pork goodness. We also offer artisanal salame from Molinari, another San Francisco producer devoted to taste and quality.

Gourmet Provisions
To say our shelves are brimming with honeys, jams, oils, vinegars, salts, mustards, candy, chocolate, pastas and grains, and spices hardly tells the whole story. We’re talking honey made by bees feasting on a single flower on one particular mountain in France.  Italian candy from Romanengo, a family-owned producer who uses machinery from the 18th century. Jam bursting with fruit picked by the hands of a cher French ami of ours, whose grandmother pitches in and paints the labels in her four-hundred-year-old farmhouse.

Browse our selection, and you are in for some surprises. We offer pasta from Switzerland and mostarda from Germany. We’re not being perverse (we have pasta and mostarda from Italy, too), but we’re committed to finding the best of the best, a consideration always trumps convention.

We hope to introduce you to a new favorite, or to provide something you thought you could only find in the Istanbul Spice Bazaar or au marché in Provence. Along the way, we’re only too happy to lend some support to individual artisans and the traditions they represent.
