At Le Cornichon, we believe that aperitifs should be inclusive. Whether you don't eat pork, are vegetarian or vegan, we have selected the best local products so that everyone can enjoy delicious moments with complete peace of mind.
Do your products contain pork?
Yes and No. We offer a wide range of traditional charcuterie (sausages, terrines) made from quality farm pork, sourced from respectful farms.
However, we have a wide selection of guaranteed pork-free products:
- Our matured cheeses : Ossau Iraty, Langres, Comté AOP... A range of 100% cheese flavors to enhance your cheese boards.
- Our savory snacks and gourmet grocery : Artisanal tapenades, gourmet crackers, vegetable spreads, refined condiments.
- Our alternative deli meats : Selections of poultry and beef to vary the pleasures without compromising quality.
On each product page, you will find clear pictograms to easily identify products suited to your dietary preferences.
What are your options for vegetarians?
The aperitif isn't just about sausage. We celebrate the richness of French terroir with a generous selection dedicated to vegetarians:
Our exceptional cheeses : Recognized PDOs, farm cheeses with blue cheese, matured creations that reveal all the nobility of milk.
Our plant-based gourmet grocery : Artichoke spreads, eggplant caviar, artisanal hummus, homemade pestos... Mediterranean and local flavors to create colorful appetizers.
Our savory biscuits & crackers : Perfect to accompany cheeses and spreads, our artisanal selections bring the necessary crunch to a successful platter.
Our condiments : Chutneys, onion jams, blackcurrant mustards... Sweet and savory touches that enhance every bite.
The art of the vegetarian aperitif is about celebrating the diversity of flavors and the quality of the products. Each box can be customized to your preferences.
The Vegan and Gourmet Alternative: "Ave Racine" Cured Vegetables
For our vegan customers or those simply curious about new taste experiences, we are proud to offer the bold creations of Ave Racine .
These are not just ordinary vegetables. They are truly refined products, crafted with the same time-honored expertise as traditional curing. Each root vegetable (carrot, parsnip, beetroot) is selected, seasoned, and then aged for several weeks to develop firm textures and astonishing umami flavors.
The result? A 100% plant-based charcuterie experience that surprises even the most skeptical. The carrot with smoked paprika offers woody notes and a texture comparable to that of a dry sausage, while the beetroot with herbs reveals a deep, earthy sweetness.
How to enjoy them?
- Sliced thinly as an appetizer, like traditional charcuterie
- Accompanied by our artisanal crackers and a vegan-friendly natural wine
- Pair it with our tapenades and hummus for a 100% plant-based platter
Ave Racine is proof that French gastronomic excellence can also be achieved without animal products, without compromising on taste or know-how.

And what about drinks (Wines & Herbal Teas)?
Our wines : We prioritize natural and organic wines. Most of our wines use plant-based fining techniques (mineral fining) and are therefore suitable for a vegan diet. This information is specified on each product page when confirmed by the producer.
Our herbal teas and infusions : 100% plant-based, naturally. Our handcrafted blends are composed solely of plants, flowers and spices, without any additives of animal origin.
