Whole Hog 2010 is Under Way

Oliveto Whole Hog Dinners

Wednesday, February 3 – Saturday, February 6

Call 510-547-5356 or reserve online.

Although Oliveto’s Whole Hog Dinners are still a few weeks away, the kitchen is already in full swine…er, swing. Sauerkraut is fermenting, prosciutto is curing, and orders are being placed. Five wild boar arrived on Thursday from Mac Magruder and a massive order to Niman Pork Company also goes in this week. There will be hogs coming from Riverdog Farm, Paul Willis, Mark Pasternak of Devil’s Gulch and Heritage Foods, totaling somewhere near twenty-five whole animals.

And Chef Paul Canales is ready. He’s already finalized some of the menu, including old favorites & some new favorites for 2010. We will, of course, offer numerous house-made cured meats and pâtés.
