The history of charcuterie goes back way further than you may think
This culinary custom dates back approximately 6,000 years! There is a ton of evidence that the early Greeks and Romans cared about salted meat, and the word “charcuterie” was born in 15th-century France when “charcutier” became an official profession. Charcutiers sold pies, sausages, bacon, and other forms of cooked, salted, or dried meats. On top of that people have been preparing as well as serving cheese since prehistoric times.
They make a wonderful gift for pretty much anyone in your life
Family, friends, business associates, hosts… no matter who you need to get a gift for, a cheese board is probably a great fit. If you do not know the person very well and are not sure what to get for them? A charcuterie board is a wonderful idea! Or for the person who already has everything, a cheese board makes for a delightful snack or a nice addition to the snack table if they are hosting guests.
Charcuterie instantly elevates any party or gathering
There is something about the word “charcuterie” (which, by the way, is pronounced “shaa·koo·tuh·ree”). Maybe it is that it is French, or that it has multiple syllables, or that it brings to mind a glorious array of delicious cheese, cured meats, fruits and more… all on one platter. It sounds high-end yet welcoming at the same time. And that is exactly what a cheese platter is going to add to your next party or gathering! A little bit of fanciness, but a whole lot of welcoming energy.
There are not many dishes to wash afterward
Some appetizers require that you use pots, pans, silverware, and all manner of dishes to be washed. With a cheese platter, you have the platter itself…perhaps a few ramekins or other small dishes, depending on the items you serve…and really, not much else! Since most of the foods on a traditional cheese platter are fantastic finger foods, there is going to be very little mess for you to clean up after.
