The Vegan Charcuterie Collection is a new offering from gourmet gift basket purveyor Harry & David and premium meat-free charcuterie maker Renegade Foods. This box shares a selection of plant-based cured meats, specifically Toscana, Spicy Chorizo and Sopresatta.
Since it was founded in 1910, Harry & David has been offering a selection of deluxe food and gift baskets with fruits, chocolates, traditional meats and conventional cheeses. Now, customers have the option to enjoy totally meatless options that also happen to be gourmet. Renegade’s co-founder, Iona Campbell, said, "From what I’ve heard, Harry & David is an extremely data-driven company. The fact that they have decided to branch out into vegan products just shows how much this movement has grown and how it’s really impacting every corner of the market."
