IT BEGINS WITH THE BOARD

A well-designed charcuterie board shouldn't just look good. It also needs to be made from high-quality materials and sturdy enough to support the weight of the ingredients. Not too heavy but not too light with an overall thickness of about ¾”-1” thicknches. Size matters and depends on the number of people you’re serving. In general a board that is 9 x13 inches is recommended for a standard charcuterie board. If serving a a larger crowd, a board around 20 x 12 inches is needed. The shape of the board is a design option but accessibility for serving should be considered.
