New! Snack Packs

Packable. Stackable. Cravable. Smoking Goose's new Snack Packs come in themed collections.

Four compartments of expertly paired bites combine for a ready-to-eat snack, picnic, or meal that's fast but the opposite of fast food.

Smoking Goose's handcrafted salumi are cured without added compound nitrates with proteins sourced from small, family farms who raise animals humanely and as nature intended. Farmstead cheeses and artisanal accompaniments make for satisfying pairings and set Smoking Goose's snack packs apart.

The Old School Salumi Pack collects slices of four of Smoking Goose's classic salumi, while the Batali Pack includes the meats and cheese that are piled on Goose the Market’s Batali Sandwich, a monster mouthful that earned Goose the top spot in Bon Appetit's list of America's Best Sandwich Shops. This nod from the magazine was the first national media mention of a sandwich that continues to bring Best Sandwich accolades to Goose today. Smoking Goose's Batali Snack Pack answers nationwide fans' craving for an on-the-go, single-serve edition of these award-winning flavors.

Tapas and Mezze Packs are inspired by old world pairings, and the Cheese Pack brings together small-batch cheeses from near and far. With vegetarian and meat treat options, the whole party is ready to party.

Interested in ordering Smoking Goose snack packs? Ask for them at your favorite counter and thanks!

Help us welcome Josh to the Goose Gang

Help us welcome Josh to the Smoking Goose sales team! Which meat treat is his favorite? The City Ham or Jowl Bacon he fries up before cycling to work are contenders, but a national award winner claims the top slot.

Josh knows great food makes for a great party. Working as a chef in Indianapolis before joining the staff at our retail market, Josh used Smoking Goose meat treats to create dishes for the menu and special events at Goose the Market. Strangers gathered there at communal tables, but with Josh's spirit and his cooking, those strangers left as friends...full, happy friends.

Cooking, creating pairings, and engaging guests weren't just Josh's day job. Ask him about the themed Halloween and holiday parties that are a tradition with his family. And there's a new chair at the table for this year's shindigs. He and his wife Shannon are raising their son Maverick in excellent taste.

With so much experience serving and cooking with Smoking Goose meat treats, Josh has to think hard about his favorite. City Ham and Jowl Bacon are contenders, "But Culatello really stands out," he says about this 2019 Good Food Award winner. "The preparation and curing are unique and develop the flavors I love.”

Look for him cycling the streets of Indy when he's not helping our coast-to-coast partners bring in Smoking Goose products as the newest member of our sales team. Welcome, Josh!
