Savory snacks by the glass
If you love charcuterie, then you need to try jarcuterie, or as we like to call it, a pâtétini. The snack trend takes traditional charcuterie components and combines them into a single salad-style savory snack, no boards needed. As the name suggests, it’s typically served in a jar or cup, but you can use any handheld glass vessel, from small portion shot glasses to elegant champagne flutes. It’s an approachable alternative to a massive grazing spread. The jarcuterie advantage is that everyone gets their own individual serving. Perfect for filling and customizing with your favorite fruits, cheeses, nuts, cured meats, and pâtés.
Pâté in Jarcuterie
Pâté is an excellent base ingredient for jarcuterie. We recommend using hearty coarse-cut pâtés as they hold their shape and structure. Choose your flavors and add components for balance, like some of our favorite pâté paintings—olives, cornichons, cucumbers, and berries. For plant-based or dairy-free charcuterie options, our tofu-based vegan pâtés make a great meat alternative for your jarcuterie base.

Here are some of our favorite pâté jarcuterie pairings to make grazing easy and delicious:
