If you’ve been paying attention on Instagram, you know that boutique cheese and “charcuterie” board companies are all the rage. In reality, it’s not just charcuterie (technically a french term used to describe prepared meat products) being offered. These locally curated grazing boards, boxes, and sometimes even tables combine a huge assortment of goodies including sweet and salty treats, cheese, meat, fruit, and tons more.
Whether it’s for personal indulgence, viewing parties, a small gathering or large event, these are awesome offerings to know about.
