How To Elevate Your Sad Desk Lunches with Olli Salumeria

We all know those days noon rolls around, and you’re stuck in back-to-back meetings. If working from home, there’s no time to cook yourself a meal, and the option to grab lunch outside of the office isn’t looking promising. In these situations, I’d usually gravitate toward an energy bar or a sad sandwich I made earlier that morning. However, when I discovered Olli Salumeria Snack Packs, my desk lunches got a big makeover. Olli Salumeria has a history of over four generations of artisanal slow-cured salumi making. By using an old-world approach, they created a fresh tasting salami that has a unique sweetness and complex flavor through their slow-cured production cycle. The attention to detail and ode to old cultural traditions really makes this salami stand out with its quality and flavor.

Olli Snack Packs offer five different styles of salumi and cheese pairings, making for a delicious and fancy mid-day pick me up. Each snack pack is paired with La Panzanella artisanal crackers, using an Italian recipe that dates back to the Roman times. The pairings include:

Pepperoni and Mozzarella (a classic Italian combination, the slightly sweet and spicy pepperoni is smoothed out by the creamy mozzarella pairing)

Genoa Salami and Fontina (a mild salami brings the same amount of intensity as the mild fontina, letting both flavors shine on their own and elevating the flavor notes combined)

Sopressata and Cheddar (the sweet sopressata balances out the sharp notes of the cheddar, making for a tasty salty and savory bite)

Calabrese and Asiago (the spicy calabrese can hold up to the intensity of the asiago cheese, letting both stand out on their own and develop a strong pairing together)

Prosciutto and Mozzarella (the delicate prosciutto is an iconic pair with Italian mozzarella, both being smooth, mild and buttery)

How to make an Olli Snack Pack lunch:

Step 1: Select 1-2 snack pack pairings

Step 2: Unwrap and arrange on a plate. This is where you can create art with your food as a fun workday distraction

Step 3: Eat on its own or add some additional pairings like pepperoncinis for a sour, briny element or mustard for something bitter.

Step 4: Enjoy and say goodbye to sad desk lunches!

Not only are these snack packs great for a quick bite, they also work wonderfully for road trips, air travel, picnics in the park or an easy happy hour snack. Try them out and let me know your favorite pairing!
