Frequently Asked Questions
Some answers to the most often asked questions about our charcuterie boxes, grazing tables & more.
What if the charcuterie box/board is not eaten right away?
No worries! Please keep it sealed and refrigerated until you are ready to eat it.
How do I store leftovers from a charcuterie board?
Storing leftovers properly ensures that you can enjoy them later without compromising on their quality. Store different components separately in airtight containers to maintain their freshness. Meats and cheeses should be wrapped tightly to prevent drying out, while items like crackers and bread should be stored in airtight containers to retain their crispness. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness.
What are some vegetarian options for a charcuterie board?
Vegetarian charcuterie boards can be just as delightful and varied. They can feature a wide array of cheeses, accompanied by crackers and breads. To add depth, include elements like olives, stuffed peppers, hummus, and a range of fresh and dried fruits. Grilled vegetables, nuts, and various dips and spreads can also add flavor and complexity to the board, ensuring a rich and satisfying experience.
How do I pair wines with a charcuterie board?
Pairing wines with a charcuterie board enhances the dining experience. Generally, light-bodied wines like Pinot Noir or Chardonnay pair well with lighter meats and cheeses, offering a refreshing contrast. For richer, more flavorful components, consider full-bodied wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or a robust Zinfandel. The goal is to either complement or contrast the flavors on the board, creating a harmonious and enjoyable pairing experience.
Are there some gluten-free options for charcuterie boards?
For those with gluten sensitivities or preferences, there are plenty of options to create a delightful gluten-free charcuterie board. Include gluten-free crackers or bread as a base. Ensure that all meats and other components are gluten-free by checking labels carefully. You can also focus on fresh fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and meats that are naturally gluten-free to create a board that is both delicious and accommodating.
