weinoo Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Who has the best selection of cured meats around? Maybe some cheese, olives and great bread (okay, now I'm getting carried away) too. Would like to see salumi from places like Fra' Mani, Salumeria Biellese and the like. Is there anything like DiPalo's? By around, I mean without driving an hour or two each way - but I guess 30 minutes wouldn't be too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean and Deluca seemed much diminished when I was in about a month ago. Balducci's on Old Georgetown Rd. has Fra'Mani and a fairly good selection of other cured meats. Arrowine in Arlington has fewer to choose from, but they are carefully selected--and their cheese dept. is awesome. Cornucopia on Norfolk Ave. in Bethesda has a small but well-chosen selection of Italian salumi, plus he's got one of those cool, hand-cranked prosciutto slicing machines.

Anna Blume Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 You should also check out some of the local producers including Red Apron and this board's cherub: Jamie S. (look for dedicated threads). Try Cowgirl Creamery, too, and Litteri. A & H Seafood for Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
