If you’ve come across the word “charcuterie” before and been puzzled, and we wouldn’t blame you. The word looks odd and sounds even odder, and if you’ve never had the opportunity to be in the vicinity of a charcuterie board, seeing it on a menu might have you raising your eyebrows. If you’ve ever wondered what the heck a charcuterie board is and why anyone would want to eat one, we’ve got you covered.  

The charcuterie board has been through a bit of a Renaissance in the past couple of years. Pronounced “shaar-koo-tr-ee,” you may know it as a meat and cheese board or antipasti platter. These appetizers are often served at the beginning of a meal at a fancy restaurant or make appearances at cocktail parties and other get-togethers. They’re often laid out on a wooden board or other large platter and arranged in a way that’s appealing to the eye as well as the nose. Cured meat is the star of the show, and everything else that is included serves to enhance the flavor and texture of the preserved proteins. 

While they’ve been around for decades, this recent reawakening of interest in the finger food has restaurants and bars across the U.S. putting their own versions on the menu, some of which can get really creative. There’s also the option of making your own at home, where you can have all of the freedom to design a board that’s most appealing to you.
