What is a Charcuterie Board?
At the very basic level, a charcuterie board (or a grazing board) is a meat and cheese board consisting generally of cured meats, cheeses, fruits and nuts.

I love how flexible having a platter of mixed foods can be, and how you can put whatever foods strike your fancy on the plate. You can create contrasts in color and texture by varying the types of cheeses and cured meats, and by adding a range of dried fruits and nuts, as well as crackers and even breadsticks! There’s no hard and fast rule when it comes to these boards, so let your creativity loose!
