As anyone who follows my various writing attempts can surmise by now, I have a strong interest in charcuterie — must have been all those sausages I ate as a child. When I learned last winter that one of the largest charcuteries outside France existed just a few minutes from where I live in California I got real excited. I wound up interviewing the principals in the organization and receiving an in-depth tour of their operation. I've posted a "trip report" of my visit on my web site.

Bouland,

That is a great piece.

Thank you for sharing it.

Yes, thank you very much! I think it's time to make another batch of rillettes.

Where is the business located? Thx.

[bouland]

Hayward, CA, but their products are available through Sysco nationwide.

Very well done Bouland. It was very interesting, makes me wish I could walk in and smell the place and walk out with some product!
