Daily Inspiration: Meet Adolat Gobea

Today we’d like to introduce you to Adolat Gobea

Hi Adolat, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Savore Boards (pronounced as ‘sah-VOR’) came to life out of the love of bringing people together around the table where some of the best memories are made. Whenever we, my husband Benny and I, would host a dinner or a party at our house, I would always make appetizers and cheese and charcuterie boards for our families to enjoy before the main meal. This is usually the time when everyone catches up with one another and share some of the best stories or childhood memories. One Christmas celebration, I made my usual cheese and charcuterie board, and my brother-in-law asked where I had purchased the board, to which I responded I made it myself. He mentioned that I should start making these for others and really think about turning this into a business.

Me being muslim, I could not really have the charcuterie I would prepare for the family because I don’t eat pork, but I always enjoyed the cheese, and I thought to myself there’s probably a lot of people who are like me and would like to have an option for Halal charcuterie. This is how Savore was born.

We specialize in Halal charcuterie and cheese boards that create memories and experiences. We have personally tried over a dozen different meats and over 50 different cheeses to create the perfect pairings on the boards we have today.

My husband and I run Savore together and we couldn’t be happier to see the faces of our customers when we deliver the boards. We’re excited about expanding in the future and really turning Savore into a lifestyle.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely has been a lot of trial and error, and I wouldn’t call those struggles per se, because we really enjoy what we do. We had to try different meats, cheeses, and fruits, and make sure those not only not only pair well, but are fresh and stay fresh all the way from our operations center to our customers’ tables. My husband and I have been in the food industry for a long time and we know how to handle a lot of different situations and curveballs.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Savore Boards is a family-owned wife and husband run charcuterie board company. We specialize in halal charcuterie and cheese board offerings. Having tried over a dozen different meats and cheeses, and probably over a 100 different combinations of pairings, we curate balanced boards so our customers can find their favorite pairings. We listen to our customers and like to hear which of those were their favorites and keep that in mind the next time they order from us.

Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
It’s extremely important to network and especially foster the relationships with suppliers when you work in food industry. We are proud to work with local small businesses and building a network of trusted partners who share the same commitment to quality as us.
