Hormel Foods, the makers of Columbus Craft Meats, is offering three new items designed as premium charcuterie gift options. The Charcuterie 101 Collection ($109.99) has sweet and bold pairings that complement its slow aged, artisan salami flavor. A cherry wood charcuterie and cheese knife complete the starter kit.

The Entertaining Collection ($159.99) contains an array of artisan salamis, cheeses, crackers and more. The Felino Gold ($89.99) is the “King of Salami.” Crafted from pork, fresh garlic and sherry wine, this artisan 2.5-lb. salami is slow-aged for a minimum of 30 days in a natural casing to develop its traditional, rustic flavor. The boxes have limited availability due to the select nature of craft salumi and are not available in stores.

“Columbus’s charcuterie boxes make the ideal holiday gift because they’re a fresh take on the classic food basket,” says Evan Inada, charcuterie/partnerships director at Columbus Craft Meats. “There is a consistent desire for gift baskets every year and this one has a distinct ‘wow’ factor upon arrival and unboxing. Especially now, due to COVID-19 and social distancing, gatherings during the holiday season may look different. This is a perfect answer.”
