Charcuterie Boards

The most popular boards for charcuterie are either wooden or slate. Marble is also a popular choice but acidic foods may cause etching and staining.

Etsy is one of my favorite places to shop for handmade goods. They have a gorgeous selection of handmade wooden charcuterie boards. Here are a few of my favorites.

Each board is made with resin that is FDA approved for direct food contact.
