Boar's head products have been in CA for several years now. Not every
deli sells it as it's pricy so depends on the income level in the
area. Also Boar's Head checks that the deli is up to their standards.
A lot of delis here in NY don't sell Boar's Head, people in the area
won't pay the prices and/or the deli doesn't meet their standards.,,
some are awarded an Official Boar’s Head Deli of Distinction
