“When my husband and I went down to Portland for his birthday a few months ago, one of the restaurants on our list was Olympic Provisions. Unfortunately, due to over-zealous planning (and limited stomach space), the restaurant got dropped off. A few weeks later, I mentioned it to a friend who was going down, and he and his partner checked it out. They loved their meal, and brought back some incredible charcuterie for us. Olympic Provisions makes a slightly fresher (i.e. less dried-out) style of charcuterie that has an addictive, slightly musky flavor. At the Portland Farmer’s market, we sampled every salume they made, and bought one of each.
Along with our friend Lorna Yee’s lovely description of the charcuterie, her post about Olympic Provisions, with this shot of flaky pork-filled hand pies, made us want to drive to Portland today. Any place that Lorna says is “…Portland’s newest temple of pork” has us interested. We think you will be too.
