Smoking Goose's Stagberry Salame brings together a stunning combination of bold ingredients. This artisanal salami starts with rich, lean elk meat blended with flavorful pork, and then mixed with sweet, organic dried blueberries that are soaked in New Day Craft’s Dry Mead, a smooth honey-based wine made by a local Indiana brewery. The result? A hunter-style cured sausage that’s both sweet and savory, with a touch of fruitiness and a richness that lingers on your palate.
The elk gives this salami a hearty, robust flavor, while the pork adds just the right amount of fat and smoothness. The juicy blueberries, marinated in mead, give it a lovely sweetness that perfectly balances the intensity of the other ingredients, for a salami that feels rustic but is surprisingly refined.
Take it on hikes or savor on a cozy night in, sliced thickly and paired it with a sharp cheddar or creamy blue cheese. Also stunning alongside a crusty baguette and a glass of red wine. It’s the perfect companion for a craft beer, especially when you're craving something a little different from your usual snack spread.
