READ ALL ABOUT IT

Charcuterie is designed for bringing people together to enjoy simple but elegant food. It’s a trendy way to present food and the word charcuterie is a French term for a line of cooking devoted to prepared meat products, primarily from pork. French pronunciation “Shar-Coo-Tree.”

Food is about the taste and experience. You want to make sure you’re presenting and pairing a contrast of flavors to excite your guests taste buds. Consider a charcuterie board as edible art.

RULES:

Quality ingredients matters!

Creating a bountiful board takes a bit of effort. You want to choose your charcuterie; pork products. Then start to add the proper cheeses, sauces, dips, seasonal produce, texture, and garnish. You will also need your canvas; a board.
