Favorite Charcuterie Shops (To Go)?

Update 2:

Milkfarm


A huge thanks to @ipsedixit @Local for the recommendation, this year for Christmas, we were able to get in our order in time. :slight_smile:

Milkfarm has a nice selection of Cheeses and Charcuterie available for you to pick and choose as you want. They also offer their own special Milkfarm Cheese Board (pre-chosen with 3 Cheeses and 1 type of Salumi for the Small Board).

We chose to order a Milkfarm Cheeseboard (Small) and supplement it with some additional Charcuterie.

Milkfarm Cheese & Charcuterie Combo Board (S):

They normally come on a Milkfarm wooden serving board (and you’re charged a deposit until you return it), but for Christmas it was a madhouse and they ran out of boards.

No matter, the presentation, condiments and selection were excellent! :slight_smile:

Idiazabel - Raw Sheep’s Milk Cheese (Spain):

Nice inherent funkiness from the Raw Sheep’s Milk base, but also creamy and mellow enough that it was a hit at the party. :slight_smile:

Cantal - Raw Cow’s Milk Cheese (France):

This was the most popular Cheese with everyone, devoured the fastest. :sweat_smile: The firm Raw Cow’s Milk Cheese had an easy, creamy, buttery taste. :slight_smile:

D’Affinois - Cow’s Milk (France):

This was a Double-Cream Soft Cow’s Milk Cheese, almost as soft as a typical Brie, creamy and spreadable, but it had more punch and character than a Brie (which is more mellow and smooth).

Calabrese Sopprasata (San Francisco, CA):

This was fine. Lightly spicy, salty. Not the best Calabrese I’ve had before, but solid.

Big Chet Fennel & Garlic Salami (Minneapolis, MN):

(No pics - I forgot to take it, sorry.)

This was the biggest hit at the party: The Fennel and Garlic really punched up the flavors in this Salami, fragrant, lightly aromatic and almost sweet and savory in a way. :heart: (@TheCookie @attran99 and others.)

They also carry Bub and Grandma’s Baguettes, so we picked some up as well. :slight_smile:

Milkfarm seems like a great local Cheese & Charcuterie Shop in the Eagle Rock area that really saved some time for the holiday party (and for any occasion) with their Cheese & Charcuterie Boards. They have a nice selection of Cheeses and were happy to give out samples. Their Charcuterie selection is a bit small, but is sufficient and nice, especially for locals in the area.

We like the selection (and the proximity) of Eataly a bit more, but the Milkfarm Boards they put together with the nice condiments and layout made the potluck really easy (and it looked professional). :wink: We’ll be glad to return to try out more selections.
