The fennel salami is a traditional Tuscan style salami with garlic, black pepper, & fennel made by Good Food Award-winning Olympia Provisions down in Portland, Oregon. I’ve been following these guys since 2009 back when they were called Olympic Provisions and they catered Mark Ryan’s wedding. Literally everything they do is delicious and they are making real change in terms of humanely-raised pork from Pacific Northwest family owned farms.

Olympia Provisions salamis are made with wild yeast and molds which protect the salami while it is curing, naturally imparting incredible flavor. It is normal that the mold changes in color ranging from white and yellow to dark grey and black. These mold are natural and delicious - totally safe or eat but also easily peelable if desired. (FYI I peel my salami).

Opinel picnic knives are made in the French Alps. This design has remained unchanged for over 130 years. In 1985, Opinel was recognized by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London as one of the 100 best designed items in the world alongside the Porsche 911 and the Rolex watch. Pro tip: the blade is carbon steel which patinas so you will have to oil or dry the blade right away to avoid discoloration especially with acidic foods.

And the charcuterie boards - Mom and Dad hand selected these American black walnut boards from Moore Newton hardwoods, designed this shape, cut them to size and drilled a thumb notch for easier serving. They ordered a custom branding iron from Etsy and watched a lot of wood burning youtube videos before launching full production mode. The boards are coated with a food grade mineral oil.
