Looking for a sure way to get the conversation and party started?The Charcuterie board is your answer.
In my home town just outside of Chicago, I started a catering business with the main focus on yes you guessed it charcuterie boards. I love making boards for large groups and small groups. A charcuterie board is not only a board of mixed wonderful, cheeses and fresh prosciutto and mortadella, although these certainly are the stars of any meat board. However the most surprising thing I see time and time again is it’s not only about the board its about the people who gather around and share their special moments. Never underestimate the joy and fun a well thought out charcuterie board can bring to any occasion.
