What is a Charcuterie Board?

The word “charcuterie” is French for “butcher’s art.” It originally referred to prepared meat products, such as pate and bacon. A charcuterie board is a type of appetizer that includes various meats and cheeses that are served together on a wooden serving board. They can be either savory or sweet and can be served as part of the main course or as an appetizer. Common meats that are used on charcuterie boards include ham, bacon, salami, and sausage. Popular cheeses that are used on charcuterie boards include cheddar, brie, blue cheese, and gouda. When it comes to serving tools, a variety of utensils like toothpicks, mini forks, and skewers are normally provided along with cheese knives and ramekins. These tools are handy for allowing guests to grab and customize what they want with ease. Extras you can add to your board that will make it more interesting include olives, pickles, grapes, nuts, and so on. There is virtually no end to the creative combinations and themes that can be created.

What is the Difference Between a Charcuterie Board and a Cheese Board?

Simply speaking, charcuterie boards are a type of cheese board that features an assortment of meat products. Cheese boards offer a selection of cheeses and just like charcuterie boards, they are often accompanied by dips, fruit, and vegetables – even herbs and bread. And the term “cheese board” can refer to the wooden board that showcases whatever delectable items you are serving. Another popular term for this food sensation is grazing boards, which usually means a lot more than just meats and cheeses are being served and there are a lot more accompaniments.

Whether the assortment is served on a wooden board, a tray, or a cutting board, the appeal is in the carefully curated selection of beautifully presented food that is easy to eat and appeals to a wide variety of people. And of course, is photo-worthy.
