Specialty Provisions: All new for 2010
It’s been a few years since we last formally checked in with Specialty Provisions, and a lot has changed.
They’ve moved from Malden to Newmarket Square, the heart of food distribution in Boston. The new location boasts a USDA- and HAACP-certified meat-cutting facility, and expansive refrigerated and freezer rooms.
With USDA certification, Specialty Provisions can pack their own retail cuts of beef, veal, lamb, and poultry and distribute them throughout New England, across the country, and internationally. This new retail line supplements their familiar bulk options, which are still available. New products have been added specifically to help synagogues and other Jewish organizations save money by catering events in-house — items like gefilte fish, oversized challahs, herring, smoked salmon, ready-made kugels, frozen hors d’oeuvres, and high-end pareve cakes.
This week, Specialty Provisions has announced even more good news — a 10% discount on all products, and they will now provide inexpensive home delivery for customers in all locations.
I had the pleasure of visiting Specialty Provisions recently to retrieve an order. The frozen meats I ordered — quartered chickens ($2.49/lb), lamb chops ($9.99/lb), and veal chops ($12.99/lb), veal bones ($2.59/lb), cross-cut short ribs ($7.99/lb), London broil ($8.99/lb) — were all thoroughly vacuum sealed and boxed neatly for transport. The two-pound package of smoked salmon ($11.49/lb) also came frozen, standard for commonly available salmon products — upon serving, the slices were large, distinct, and tasty. Specialty Provisions also carries fresh fish now — I received four generous haddock fillets ($5.50/lb), cut to order under supervision, and packed in a convenient reusable plastic box.

If you’ve been hesitant to try Specialty Provisions, or it’s been a while since you last ordered, now is a fantastic time to give them a shot.

An extensive product line, superior quality, amazing prices and service with a smile… A winning combination!
Spoke to several very happy customers. No more trips to New York for me. The prices look great and usda inspected. I’m in.
Maier’s meat is always the very best quality. With the added product selection there really is no reason to shop anywhere else.
Jonathan, have you heard/tried the Golden West Cattle Company meat? I’ve been looking at their website and considering making an order, but wanted to know if anyone else has had an experience with them. thanks.
I haven’t tried Golden West, but I’ve heard a couple generally positive reviews from locals who have.
