NOTE: WHY LARDER? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? roughly it means Cupboard “a place to store food” Americans use the word Pantry these days, but most in certain areas of the world still use Larder.

The word comes from the latin word lardarium. It was how food (especially meat) was stored long ago before we had refrigeration. We use it…mostly just to be different and we like the word. Since we began years ago here in the Valley as a Cheese & Charcuterie company only. I kind of felt like Charcuterie (means cured meat or a store selling cold cooked meats) it was appropriate for what we were making. Explanation

Charcuterie is a French term that refers to a way of preserving meat by curing it. This method was developed before refrigeration. Charcuterie boards often include cured meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and breads. 

The term “charcuterie” can also refer to a delicatessen that specializes in selling cured meats and meat dishes. The people who make charcuterie are called charcutiers. 

History

The practice of charcuterie dates back to the 15th century in France. At that time, charcutiers were organized and ran shops that were permitted to make, cook, and sell pork products. Today, charcuterie is made from a variety of meats, including pork, game, and poultry. 

Valley Larder Catering is serving Alpen Sierra’s Locally Made Delicious Coffee at all Catered Events.
