Did you know Pennsylvania ranks as one of the top apple-producing states in the country? Or that the state is known as the “Snack Food Capital of the World”? Pennsylvania does not just center around Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and looking to the countryside and its many towns in between opens the doors to other interesting and fun opportunities, especially when it comes to unique culinary trails.
The state offers five different itineraries for charcuterie and meat lovers to explore. A long-standing tradition to the indigenous populations of Pennsylvania, the practice of drying meat continues today. Immigrant populations to the state also brought their techniques of storing and smoking meats to the region. The Upstate Pennsylvania, Pocono Mountains & Valleys of the Susquehanna itinerary spans three days across 14 stops, from Kowalonek’s Kielbasa to Alpine Wurst and Meat House to Tarnowski’s Kielbasa and The Charcuterie. Explore the different charcuterie itineraries here.
