SOMETHING TO SNACK ON

The traditiona­l charcuteri­e-and-cheese plate gets an upgrade

-

BELCAMPO MEAT Santa Monica, Calif.

Celebrity chef Mario Batali developed a pepperoni recipe to suit the free-range, heritage hogs raised by this California ranchbutch­er-restaurant. You can buy it by the link ($13/8 oz.) or try it alongside salami, mortadella, cultured butter, pickled beets, and rosemary caraway mustard on the Belcampo by Batali board ($18).

SOCIETY FAIR Alexandria, Va.

Todd Thrasher’s Tonic cheese is named after Society Fair’s lead mixologist (is there any higher honor?); the artisanal gin-and-tonic-washed goat cheese ($12/4 oz.) is the result of his collaborat­ion with Coach Farm. Those enjoying it at home might take inspiratio­n from the restaurant’s Big Bad board ($35), which also includes such items as house-made pate de campagne, white bean dip, and carrot dal.

BLACKBELLY MARKET Boulder, Colo.

Blackbelly’s Grand Selection ($50) is an ever-changing charcuteri­e and cheese spread including at least 10 types of house-made meats, plus pickles, mustard, and fruit preserves. One standout: pork terrine studded with poached sweetbread­s and foie gras, wrapped in bacon ($35/lb.).
