Ready-to-Serve Snack Trays

The Hormel Gatherings Hard Salami & Pepperoni Tray is Easy to Serve

— April 25, 2024 — Lifestyle
The Hormel Gatherings Hard Salami & Pepperoni Tray has been announced ahead of the busy summertime entertaining season to offer consumers a glimpse into how they can elevate their warm weather get-togethers. The product consists of cheeses, crackers and pepperoni slices to encourage guests to take as much or as little of each as they desire. The premade profile of the tray means hosts don't have to dedicate too much time to preparation and only need to take off the lid before serving.

Associate Brand Manager Kat Osborne spoke on the Hormel Gatherings Hard Salami & Pepperoni Tray saying, "Summer is the perfect time of year for people to get outside and get together. And what great get-together is complete without something to snack on? Our Hormel Gatherings brand team is dedicated to providing quick-and-convenient snacking options that accommodate any party occasion, and with our new Hard Salami & Pepperoni Tray, consumers can bring the fun to their next summertime soiree.”
