If you have a custom request or a question, do not hesitate to reach out to us via Etsy Convos. We welcome your ideas to create a design to your satisfaction. We even make breakfast jarcuterie one weekend, with easy to “sip” granola and blueberries inside the jar. And on top we layered handheld eats like a mini blueberry muffin, hardboiled egg, and bacon. The idea in creating a food board is to create color and texture that fits the holiday or event you are planning. Here are some ideas of what you can include. Dips: hummus, baba ganoush, ranch, yogurt dip,tzatziki, white bean dip, cheese dip, guacamole, artichoke dip, olive tapenade, roasted beet hummus

Dried Fruit: apricots, banana chips, dried mango, dried kiwi, dried cherries, Craisins, dried blueberries, raisins, dates, dried pineapple Finish With Garnish: Add a little herbal garnish like rosemary or thyme. Or for holiday themed jarcuterie, top with a piece of seasonal candy to make it fun. Generally, I like to include at least one item from each of the categories below and top it with one little sweet as a dessert. (Except for the dips, those are for building a veggie or fruit jarcuterie for grazing.) In the next section, I’ll go over the best way to put all the ingredients together in a jar so they stand up and look pretty too. But here is a general list to use as a shopping guide for inspiration. A charcuterie boards is ideal for parties. Charcuterie boards are a type of appetizer that traditionally include cured meats served cold. Cerignola olives: More of a yellow green,Cerignola. These gigantic green olives are harvested in Cerignola, in Italy’s Puglia region, the heel of the boot. They are crisp and fantastically buttery

Charcuterie has been my favorite kind “meal” for as long as I can remember. I love having a little taste of everything, and have always preferred grazing over tapas or cheese boards to having a big dinner plate. Perhaps it’s from being a GenX-er that grew up with Lunchables as a treat and loving those summer sausage baskets around the holidays. It felt fancy and special. First things first, let’s talk jars. Size matters depending on what kind of foods you want to add to your jarcuterie. But generally, smaller sizes are better for handheld eats. Mason jars, both the 4 ounce and 8 ounce size work great. Due to the natural beauty of the wood grain, there may be slight color variations in each finished product. What’s a “coochie” board? We all know that “charcuterie” can be a bit of a mouthful, and the Internet never disappoints. Some people pronounce it “charcoochie”, so of course the “shark-coochie” meme was born and this is the cheese board to go along with it! The board comes with the funny phrase as per product photos plus your name or names. You can add the date as well if needed.

Hardwoods provide a wonderful selection of grain patterns, colour variations, and textures, The cutting boards crafted from hardwood will have variations in colour and grain in each strip used to create the cutting board. Because no two trees are exactly alike the colour of the wood strips within the cutting board may vary from light to dark. The picture and letters might be darker or lighter than in the picture shown. Therefore every board is unique and inevitably they differ slightly in terms of finish and appearance. https://www.etsy.com/HodgeMill/listing/664984205/gift-wrapping-make-gifting-a-breeze-this?utm_source=Copy&utm_medium=ListingManager&utm_campaign=Share&utm_term=so.lmsm&share_time=1544579549234

As for the history of charcuterie, the Food Lover’s Companion says, “Taken from the term cuiseur de chair, meaning “cooker of meat,” charcuterie has been considered a French culinary art at least since the 15th century. It refers to pork specialties … which are made and sold in a delicatessen-style shop, also called a charcuterie.”
