Frequently Asked Questions




ORDERS

What can I expect after placing an order?

All orders placed before 3pm Monday through Friday will be fulfilled and packed the same day. All orders placed after 3pm Monday through Friday will be fulfilled and packed the following business day.  

Temperature-sensitive or perishable products are only shiped Monday-Thursday to ensure they reach their destination within 2 days. For orders placed Friday, please call if expedited shipping is needed (additional charges may be required). It is your responsibility to ensure you have entered the correct shipping address, shipping method, and delivery timeline. Shipments that are undeliverable and/or delivered incorrectly due to an incorrect, incomplete, or invalid shipping address are disqualified from refunds. You will receive a confirmation email with your tracking number within 24hrs of placing your order. Orders under $300 do not require a signature, carriers generally require signatures for apartment buildings/complexes. 




Questions about credit cards?

Credit card payments are processed on the day that your order is received. We accept the following cards (issued by a US financial institution): Visa, MasterCard and American Express. We are unable to accept cards issued by banks outside the U.S. For your security, your billing name and address must match that of the credit card used for payment. We reserve the right to cancel any order that does not fit this criterion. The credit card verification number is the 3-digit code on the back of your Visa or MasterCard, and the 4-digit code on the front of your American Express card. 

Gift Basket Substitutions

Because of the perishable and sometimes seasonal nature of many of our products, we reserve the right to make substitutions of items of equal or greater value as necessary to ensure timely delivery of your purchases.

Why do product prices change?

We choose to source our proteins from the best farms around. Prices are subject to change due to seasonal variances in protein supply availability and truffle season variances. We do offer Wholesale / Distributor pricing for restaurants / stores!

Can I buy foie gras?

We can sell foie gras to out-of-state residents. Angel's Salumi & Truffles cannot sell foie gras to California State residents due to the temporary Foie Gras ban. We redirect our California customers to our Nevada distributing partner (Laurel Pine Living Luxury) who carries Angel's Foie Gras!  














 

SHIPPING

When will my order ship?

It takes one business day to receive and process your order. These orders are then shipped accordingly per the shipping rate selected. 

Orders placed before 3 p.m. M-W will be shipped the same day. Temperature -sensitive products must be shipped and delivered within 2 days to ensure quality.

Orders placed on Thursday or Friday will be shipped the following Monday, otherwise they can be expedited by selecting a faster shipping rate, if needed.

*Please note that because most of our items are temperature sensitive, we must use 2 day shipping.  we provide ice packs to keep them cool through transit, ensuring the highest quality of our product.

How does free shipping work?

We occasionally offer free shipping discounts and these apply to our standard shipping rates.  Expedited rates will receive a shipping discount.

Where does my order ship from?

We are based in southern California, this means orders being shipped across the U.S. to the east coast will incur higher shipping rates strictly based on distance. On the contrary, there are times we can ship to our local residents quicker.  Just give us a call, and we'll be glad to help at: (760)931-1324 Monday-Friday 9a.m.-5p.m.

PRODUCTS

Do I need to peel Angel's Salami?

No! Because we use natural casing, you do not have to peel the casing off of our salami to enjoy. If you want to peel the casing off, we recommend running warm water over the salami until the casing lightly separates from the meat. Then peel like you would skin from a blanched tomato.

How should I store Angel's salami?

Our shelf-stable salami products can be kept in a cool, dry, dark place (like a pantry) for up to 10 months. Refrigerate after opening, and place unused/yet-to-be-devoured portions in a Ziploc bag, or wrap with cling wrap. Refrigerate non-shelf-stable items! Please see website for shelf-stable / non-shelf-stable collections, and please see product labels for storage notes.


Is Angel's salumi / charcuterie Gluten-Free?

Angel's salumi and charcuterie (and general salumi / charcuterie) are Gluten-Free by nature. Please request ingredient lists for specific items if confirmation required!

What allergens are in Angel's products?

We will be happy to provide all allergy information for any item upon request. 


How do I store my truffles?

When you get truffles, unwrap like a gift! Contact us within 24hrs with any potential issues. Keep up to 3wks, cool and dry in your fridge. 

With Angel's Truffle Box, keep clean, dry truffles immersed in rice. Wrap truffles in unbleached paper towels to combat moisture. Change wrappings daily. If white formations form, brush off under cold water, dry well, and rewrap.

NOTE: Fresh truffles must be shipped overnight to ensure quality. 

 

What's the white stuff on my salami?

Sometimes white salt crystallization appears on salumi of small diameter and natural casing. This crystallization is NOT mold. When our natural pork casing products are very dry and very cold, the natural casing sometimes becomes white. This is a crystalline formation of salt, milk, and sugar which especially occurs in winter, or when storage is colder. This formation will disappear if you leave the salami at room temperature for 24hrs! *See Image Below*
