Carnivore Club is a monthly subscription service that offers a selection of premium artisinal meats. They feature different artisans each month. This month's artisan is Imperial Chorizo based in Gloversville, New York.
This month's box features 4 different varieties of dried sausages:
Duck Saucisson
Wild Boar Salami
Saucisson Sec
Soppressata
First up is a 5 oz shrink wrapped package of Duck Saucisson. The label states that the duck used was raised without antibiotics and no nitrates were added. The handy insert provided by Carnivore Club suggests serving this one with fresh figs, grapes or melon. I found this to be a bit greasy and tough.
The next option is a 5 oz package of Wild Boar Salami. This one also claims to be nitrate-free except for what naturally occurs in celery powder. The insert states this salami highlights the unique flavor of the meat, allowing you to enjoy the primal, cave-man experience of enjoying some good boar. I really liked this. It was great with cheese and grapes. Great flavor and not too gamey, which might be a consideration for some.
Next up is Saucisson Sec, which mixes wine, garlic and black pepper with pork and is cured for 5 weeks. This one was okay, but nothing I'd seek out again.
Lastly is the Sopressata, which is a dry sausage made from coarsely ground pork and hung to dry. I did not like this at all. No. Just....no.
I personally don't think this box is worth $50/month. But if you'd like to try it for yourself, just click here.
