Forget humdrum appetizers. Here are seven good reasons to choose a charcuterie board for your next get-together.

#1. Go for variety.

Your guests will love the fact that you are offering them a mix of interesting appetizers. Highlight cured meats like:

  • Sausage or salami, like dry chorizo
  • Prosciutto
  • Jamon Serrano, which is Spanish ham
  • Mocetta, or cured beef tenderloin

The rule of thumb is three slices for each attendee.

#2. Don’t forget pate.

Check out specialty stores that sell exotic pates by the slice. This lets you offer your guests an intriguing variety at an affordable price. Pates are a mix of ground meat that is cooked and mixed with vegetables, nuts and other foods. Serve crackers or artisan breads with the pate.

#3. Use pickled vegetables.

Picked vegetables add taste and texture to a standard charcuterie board. They can be as common as gherkins or exotic as kim-chi or picked okra.

#4. Offer a selection of spreads.

Let your guests select from an array of fancy mustards, preserves like cherry or apricot, and a spreadable cheese mixture.

#5. Add fresh bread or crackers.

To round off your remarkable charcuterie board, come up with a selection of four or five breads and crackers.

#6. Add the right drink.

Your guests will be thirsty when they eat from a charcuterie board. This is a great time to investigate local craft beers and interesting red and white wines.

#7. Serve on a wood board.

Wood charcuterie boards are the perfect way to serve your selections. They are solid and stable, making it easy for guests to serve themselves.

Save Money, Buy Wholesale

Buying in quantity can save you a significant amount on the price per board. Wholesales lots of 50 or more offer you the advantage not just of a lower price, but also peace of mind that you won’t run out. Wholesale Cutting Boards offers a range of sizes and styles.

Wood cutting boards are in-demand as wedding favors, corporate gifts, rewards for employees and incentives for customers. They don’t fall apart within days of the event. They are functional and useful in the kitchen, hobby room and workroom.

Wood cutting boards are the most sanitary material for kitchen food prep. Wood is able to absorb bacteria and prevent it from spreading. With just a simple rinse and air drying, wood cutting boards stay hygienic. Compare that to plastic boards, which can retain bacteria and other toxins even after a trip through the dishwasher.

You can have your cutting boards laser engraved with your logo and company name, making them the perfect addition to a marketing campaign.
