It’s “Chahr-ku-tuh-ree” Board Gift Basket
Our It’s “Chahr-ku-tuh-ree” Board Gift Basket is a timeless basket. The art of thoughtfully arranging cured meats and cheeses stems from 15th century France and is known as charcuterie. While the modern world has taken a keen liking to creating charcuterie boards, the custom of hosting with a meat and cheese board has been around for centuries. How does one make a cheese board, you may ask? A traditional charcuterie consists of cured meats, cheeses, olives, artisan breads, fruits, nuts and condiments such as honey or mustard. Today, different variations of the charcuterie board are designed with holiday themes, desserts and much more.
Charcuterie boards pair best with plenty of guests and alcohol, especially wine. Enjoy a sparkling white wine paired with a salty prosciutto. Or a full bodied red such as Merlot or Cabernet Fran with a warm creamy cheese. The beauty of a balancing act between savory and sweet or spicy and dry. Add fresh fruit, a crunchy pickle and breads to enhance the experience your guests will thank you for.
