Austin, Minn.

Jalapeño pepperoni and spicy salami are bringing the heat in the all-new HORMEL GATHERINGS® Bold and Spicy Tray

The makers of the HORMEL GATHERINGS® brand are turning up the heat with the launch of their latest innovation – the HORMEL GATHERINGS® Bold and Spicy Tray, now available exclusively at Walmart. This exciting new snack-tray combination offers bold, spicy flavors and high-quality ingredients to create the ultimate snacking experience. The stars of the HORMEL GATHERINGS® Bold and Spicy Tray are the jalapeño pepperoni and spicy salami, a fiery, flavor-packed twist on classic favorites that’s sure to satisfy spice lovers and snack enthusiasts alike.

Hormel Foods has taken its classic pepperoni and infused it with the bold heat of jalapeño peppers, resulting in a flavorful, spicy pepperoni that is sure to set the snack-tray bar higher than ever. The jalapeño pepperoni brings an exciting combination of savory flavor and a zesty kick, creating a perfect balance of heat and taste — a game-changer for spicy-snack enthusiasts. Accompanying the jalapeño pepperoni is the bold, savory kick of spicy salami, featuring the adventurous flavors of Chorizo infused with garlic, paprika, and peppers – the perfect pairing for any snacking occasion, especially as fans gear up to celebrate the Big Game!

In addition to the jalapeño pepperoni and spicy salami, the HORMEL GATHERINGS® Bold and Spicy Tray features:

  • Pepper Jack Cheese: A creamy, spicy cheese that perfectly complements the heat of the meats.
  • Mild Cheddar: A smooth, mild cheese that helps balance the spiciness with a creamy, comforting finish.

“Our jalapeño pepperoni and the spicy salami are the highlights of the HORMEL GATHERINGS® Bold and Spicy Tray, and we’re thrilled to offer such a spicy selection for our heat-seeking consumers,” said Rhonda Ihrke, HORMEL GATHERINGS® brand manager. “The popularity of spicy food is on the rise with consumers, and we believe this tray, and particularly our jalapeño-infused pepperoni and spicy salami, are meeting this growing trend in lockstep. This tray is the perfect addition to your next shindig or soiree, bringing together everything that people crave into a single snack: bold flavors, spice and convenience.”
