Custom Charcuterie Boards + Cutting Boards

How To Choose Personalized Charcuterie Boards

A personalized charcuterie board isn’t just a serving piece - it’s where gatherings begin. Whether you’re hosting friends, celebrating milestones, or enjoying a quiet evening at home, a charcuterie board sets the tone for the evening and creates a focal point for gathering and lively conversation. Our collection includes wood, marble, wood + marble, and slate options, each designed to combine beauty, function, and lasting quality. Add a custom engraving or monogram to create a meaningful piece that feels uniquely yours.

Choosing the Right Charcuterie Board

When selecting a personalized charcuterie board, think about how you plan to use it and the style that fits your space.

Material Matters

• Wood Charcuterie Boards offer warmth and timeless appeal. Popular woods like maple, acacia, and rubberwood stand up to heavy use, age attractively, developing character over time, and are knife-friendly. Wood boards work beautifully for cutting, prep, and presentation, making them a practical everyday option.
  
• Marble Cheese Boards bring a refined, elevated look to the table with their natural veining patterns. Naturally cool to the touch, marble helps cheeses maintain their texture while serving. It’s an ideal choice for elegant entertaining.
  
• Wood + Marble Boards combine the warmth of wood with sleek old world sophistication of genuine marble. The contrast between the wood and natural marble veining adds visual interest while offering versatility for both cutting and serving.
  
• Slate Boards deliver a bold, modern presentation. Each piece features natural variations in tone and texture, giving your board a distinctive character. Engraving a name, custom design, or monogram enhances its individuality.
  

Size & Shape

Choose a board size based on your hosting style:

• Smaller cheese boards are perfect for intimate evenings or small bites.
• Medium charcuterie boards suit family gatherings and casual entertaining.
• Larger charcuterie boards create an impressive centerpiece for holidays and celebrations.
  

Board Shape

• Rectangular boards are by far the most popular choice in charcuterie. Round boards feel inviting and communal, while rectangular boards provide structure and maximize serving space. 

Personalization Options

Adding a custom engraving transforms a serving piece into a keepsake. A personalized charcuterie board with a family name, wedding date, or monogram makes a thoughtful wedding gift, housewarming present, or anniversary surprise. It’s a practical piece that carries personal meaning for years to come.

Tips for Building a Beautiful Charcuterie Board

Putting together a well-balanced spread doesn’t have to be complicated. A few thoughtful choices make all the difference.

How to Arrange Your Board

1. Start with Cheese
   Select a variety of textures and flavors:

• Soft (brie, chevre)
• Semi-soft (havarti, fontina)
• Firm (cheddar, gouda)
• Bold or aged (blue cheese, parmesan)

1. Add Cured Meats
   Fold or roll salami, prosciutto, or soppressata to create height and visual appeal.
   
2. Layer in Crunch
   Include crackers, sliced baguette, or breadsticks for texture.
   
3. Bring in Fresh & Dried Fruit
   Grapes, berries, apple slices, dried apricots, or figs add color and natural sweetness.
   
4. Include Savory Extras
   Olives, nuts, pickles, and roasted vegetables balance flavors.
   
5. Add Something Sweet
   Honey, fig jam, or fruit preserves pair beautifully with many cheeses.
   
6. Fill the Gaps
   Tuck smaller ingredients into open spaces for a full, abundant look.
