• About the company

  Since Boar's Head was founded in 1905, much has changed. While many have learned to cut corners, we are happy to say we haven't changed with the times, and over 110 years later, we're still using only the finest ingredients—pure pork, poultry and beef, combined with real spices, and no fillers, by-products, artificial colors or flavors, gluten or trans fat.
