Boccalone is said to make some of the best cured/cooked pork in the Country. I finally made a trip to San Francisco to get some, and it lived up to it’s reputation. The Nduja, a spicy spreadable salame, was one of the best things I’ve eaten, the Cappicolo was delightful, and the Pancetta Piana was [...]

This is actually a garlic (and horseradish) mayonnaise, which has a very different taste and consistency than real aioli. OK, now that we’ve got that out of the way… Ingredients [...]
