Olympia Provisions Pork Rillettes is a classic French-style spread made from rich, tender pork shoulder that’s slowly cooked in its own fat until melt-in-your-mouth soft. Once perfectly tender, the meat is hand-chopped, then brightened with fresh ginger and herbs and gently seasoned with warm baking spices. Capped with rendered lard, this decadent and intensely savory preparation makes a stunning addition to any cheese and charcuterie board.
Rillettes is traditionally enjoyed with good bread, and this version is no exception. Spread generously on a warm baguette or rustic toast, and pair with stone-ground mustard or cornichons to balance the richness. Its silky, savory depth also makes it a natural partner for creamy cheeses, pickled vegetables, or as a luxe topping for crostini at parties. Olympia Provisions—founded in Portland, Oregon by Elias Cairo—is renowned for its dedication to old-world charcuterie, producing award-winning products with humanely raised pork and traditional methods.
