Product Information

Charcuterie is the art of preparing and assembling cured meats and other meat products. But, many people use the term charcuterie to refer to an assortment of meats that are paired with different accompaniments, such as toast, fruit, cheese, and sauces. If you want to offer charcuterie on your menu, there are a handful of basics to understand first, from identifying some of the most popular types of charcuterie, to what makes a really impressive completed board. Is Charcuterie French or Italian? Do I make a fancy board on a regular basis? No. For special occasions and holidays, you bet. Go in with a few family members to cut costs, that can help. Shop in your pantry before you go shopping at the grocery store. Chances are, you’ll have a handful of items you can use for your board right in your own pantry. The Best Cheeses to Use

At the end of the day, undivided plates and divided plates are both great! Why not switch it up? Divided Plate Recommendations Another benefit is that the walls of the divided plates are typically very high. This means that any of the compartments could also be used for purees, in addition to finger foods. The walls also help to make it easier for your baby to scoop the purees up and out of the plate. You’ll also probably be thankful for higher walls, and divided sections, when you serve dry food along with a more liquid-y food, because the wet food won’t spread everywhere and make a big mess right from the beginning. This gives your baby some time to do that all on their own 😉 Like I said above, this is your board so choose your favorite varieties of cheese. I’d suggest have at least 3 different cheeses in different shapes and sizes. See my photo above for reference. Keep in mind my board was very large, but I chose 4 cheeses- brie, smoked gouda, blue cheese, Pecorino Romano and a bloc of cream cheese that I added spicy jelly on top. Fresh Herbs But my biggest recommendation is to grab a bowl or plate that has suction! I love this option, and basically find it a necessity, especially for babies. The suction helps prevent the bowl/plate from moving around as your baby tries to eat, making things easier for them. But also, let’s face it, babies are going to be super messy, and will probably throw items off their highchair tray more than once (as I mentioned earlier too!). So, choose a plate with amazing suction to help minimize unnecessary mess by discouraging plate throwing.

Yes, use your favorite cheeses such as freshly shredded gruyere, smoked cheddar, mozzarella and even provolone.

Peanut butter and granola “quesadillas”– Spread peanut butter on a small whole grain tortilla, add sliced banana, honey, and granola and fold over like a quesadillaBe silly: Make funny faces with the foods on your child’s plate. It might help your child get excited to eat it. Try freezing small bites of different foods. You can use these later and it avoids throwing a lot of food away. Fresh Rosemary and thyme looks great as some added greenery to your board. It smells good too. You’ll see I added some Rosemary springs around my board. Durable – resist wear and tear, the longer they last the better (and they need to hold up to babies/toddlers!).
