What’s in This Month’s Box? – Zendesk

Each month, we curate a whimsical, mouthwatering lineup of small-batch cured meats for our Porco Rosso Cured Meats Club members. This month, we’re serving up a little magic — with a nod to our favorite Studio Ghibli characters and the timeless craft of charcuterie.

Here’s what’s in your April box:

🐖 Howl’s Fire-Roasted Chorizo

Style: Spanish-style dry-cured chorizo
Tasting Notes: Smoky, bold, paprika-forward with a hint of garlic
Perfect Pairing: Manchego, charred sourdough, and a Tempranillo that Howl himself would hoard in his moving castle

🥓 Totoro’s Forest Lomo

Style: Lomo embuchado (cured pork loin)
Tasting Notes: Delicate, herb-crusted, with notes of rosemary and thyme
Perfect Pairing: Goat cheese, green apples, and a crisp white wine on a mossy picnic blanket under a camphor tree

🍄 Soot Sprite Salsiccia Secca

Style: Italian-style dry-cured sausage
Tasting Notes: Rustic, peppery, with wild fennel and a touch of chili
Perfect Pairing: A hunk of Pecorino, roasted mushrooms, and a bold Barbera — for when you’re hiding in the shadows and need a snack

✨ Ponyo’s Sea Salt Soppressata

Style: Calabrian-style soppressata
Tasting Notes: Briny, rich, with red pepper flakes and a subtle ocean breeze
Perfect Pairing: Anchovy-stuffed olives, ciabatta, and a splash of chilled Verdicchio

🌟 Bonus Tip from the Kitchen Witches

Serve with pickled vegetables, a drizzle of honey, and your favorite animated film for maximum enjoyment. And remember — if your meats disappear mysteriously, it was probably the Catbus.
