Thrilled with the recent sofi Award win in the
Meat, Pâté or Seafood Category for its Fermín
Ibérico smoked pancetta, the team at
Wagshal's
Imports
eagerly
sampled the new
product at this year's show. "The taste speaks
for itself," said Wagshal's owner Aaron Fuchs.
"When you start with a good product like the
Ibérico
pig, using it in a recipe, it makes every-
thing better." The new smoked pancetta is
made from authentic Iberian pigs, butchered
and brought to the United States, where the
meat
is cured and salted.

are the perfect treat to serve at any cocktail

complement a bloody mary. For those who
would rather relax with a cold beer, the com-
pany also offers a more male-friendly beer bis-
cotti, chock full of crushed pretzels, sriracha,
chocolate and sea salt.
