New Charcuterie & Pizza/Sandwich Special
Greeting from the Little River Bakehouse! I am pleased to announce that we are now carrying locally sourced charcuterie from Terra di Siena, located right outside of Richmond. The charcuterie is made in the traditional Tuscan style, but with locally raised Virginia pigs. We have a variety of their cured meats available in packages and on our charcuterie plates. I personally recommend the Capocollo, which comes from the neck and produces some of the sweetest fat and most tender meat.
We will be running a pizza and sandwich special for the next couple of weeks utilizing their great cured meats. The pizza is a pancetta, red pepper, and mushroom pizza. The earthiness of the mushrooms, with the sweetness of the red peppers, and the smoothness of our Locksley Mozzarella really brings out the salty and floral notes of the pancetta. The sandwich comes on our house baked Focaccia bread, and consists of Terra di Siena's Porchetta, which is a pork loin that is cured, rolled, stuffed with herbs, and then roasted. It is also topped with bell peppers, onions, stewed tomatoes, and a couple of slices of Locksley Mozzarella. All of these yummy ingredients are brought together before being put into our pizza oven to cook. Don’t forget to check out the charcuterie in our retail fridge!
