Owner Jane Alzate’s Top 5 Charcuterie Board Essentials 

 A Variety of Cheeses – A well-balanced board includes a mix of textures and flavors, like a creamy Brie, a sharp cheddar, a nutty Gouda, and a tangy blue cheese. To enhance the presentation, cheeses should be cut and arranged in different styles—try the zipper foldcubedchunked, or fanned slices for a visually appealing and inviting spread.

 Protein Options for All Diets – Traditional charcuterie meats like prosciutto, salami, and capicola offer rich, savory flavors. However, to accommodate dietary restrictions and religious preferences, consider alternatives such as:

  • Smoked salmon or other fish for pescatarians.
  • Turkey-based options for those avoiding pork.
  • Halal-certified meats for those who follow specific dietary laws.
  • Vegetarian or plant-based spreads like hummus, marinated tofu, or roasted vegetables for a no-meat option.

 Fresh & Dried Fruits (Styled Beautifully) – Fruits add natural sweetness and vibrant color, but their presentation can take a board to the next level! Some fun and unique ways to arrange them include:

  • Crowning kiwis and oranges for a decorative touch.
  • Creating flowers with sliced strawberries or mangoes for an artistic flair.
  • Fanning out apple or pear slices for an elegant look.
  • Using whole grapes or berries in clusters to add texture and depth.

 Crunchy & Sweet Elements – A mix of textures keeps the board exciting. Include:

  • Artisanal crackers and breadsticks for pairing with cheeses.
  • Toasted nuts for a rich, savory crunch.
  • Chocolate bark or brittle for a touch of sweetness and contrast.
  • Caramelized pecans or candied walnuts to balance salty and sweet flavors.

 House made Spreads & Flavorful Accents – Our handcrafted dips and spreads are the perfect way to enhance your board:

  • House made Hummus Trio – Classic, Roasted Red Beet, and Roasted Red Pepper, offering creamy, flavorful, and nutrient-packed options.
  • Protein-Packed Cottage Cheese Dill Dip – A refreshing and creamy dip loaded with flavor and nutrients.
  • All-Natural, Homemade Jams – Bursting with fresh fruit flavor, the perfect sweet complement to cheeses and crackers.
  • Whole-grain mustard, honey, and cornichons to add depth and contrast to every bite.
