Boars Head Pepperoni & Vermont Cheddar Tray
What You Should Know
Boar's Head Pepperoni & Vermont Cheddar Tray is a single-serve, refrigerated snack found in the deli/prepared foods section of mainstream supermarkets, usually displayed near sliced deli meats, small cheese packs, and grab-and-go charcuterie trays. The compact 2 oz clear plastic tray with a peel-back film caters to shoppers grabbing a quick snack for lunch, a party appetizer, or an on-the-go bite. It fits a range of occasions — from impromptu wine-and-cracker moments to packed-lunch add-ins — and is often purchased on grocery runs for game-day spreads, casual weekend brunches, or to send with kids to school as an easy protein option. Boar's Head positions this item as an upscale, trusted deli brand: heritage-focused, appealing to adults who want convenience without sacrificing perceived quality. Label cues—“Uncured Pepperoni,” “Vermont Cheddar,” and familiar ingredient lists—lend a small “natural” health halo, though there are no organic or child-targeted gimmicks; the design feels mature and pragmatic rather than flashy. In plain terms the tray combines cured-style pepperoni and pasteurized cheddar — both processed into a ready-to-eat format. Sensory details: the pepperoni is slightly chewy with a concentrated cured pork flavor, paprika warmth, and a touch of sweetness from turbinado sugar; the Vermont cheddar is firm, tangy, and creamy with a buttery mouthfeel. Rituals around it are simple: chill, peel, arrange on a cracker or bread, and share. Nutritionally it reads like a savory indulgence—about 190 calories and roughly 700 mg sodium per tray—making it flavorful but sodium-forward.

Common Questions about Boars Head Pepperoni & Vermont Cheddar Tray
The Pepperoni & Cheddar Tray can definitely fit into a balanced diet, especially if you're looking for a protein boost with its 11g of protein per serving. However, it’s also relatively high in sodium (700mg), so if you're watching your salt intake, this might be a treat rather than an everyday snack.
