As as alternative to selling heart-shaped boxes of candies, chocolate or other confections to satisfy a sweet tooth, Bolyard's Meat and Provisions is offering savory meat boxes for Valentine's Day this year.
The 'MeatHeart' boxes include a selection of house-made charcuterie, including a few festively shaped cuts. In total, there are nine different types of cured or smoked meats included and in the same way that the contents of a box of Valentine's Day chocolates is labeled, the MeatHeart box also includes details of each piece of meat. These alternative gift boxes can be pre-ordered for a limited time during this holiday period.
Outside of Valentine's Day, the business in Maplewood, Missouri also offers a variety of kits for meat lovers, including the 'Weekend Warrior' and 'Meat for the Week.'
