Best Mail Order Charcuterie

If you know us, then you know we are crazy about building charcuterie boards and especially eating them. Nothing is better for a party or intimate get-together then some fine meat and cheese on a hearty plank of wood! No worries, you don’t actually have to put it on a piece of wood.

We tested samples of charcuterie from over two dozen sources to arrive at our top selections. Our picks were based on the following benchmarks:

  • Outstanding flavor
  • Character, including mouthful and tenderness
  • Impeccable ingredients
  • Flexibility, the number of ways it can be utilized (stand alone, accompany other foods, or a recipe ingredient)
  • Uniformity and consistency of product

The following selections are not ranked but all are stars in their own right and proved to be head and shoulders above those not making the cut.

I personally never get tired of testing and trying our new charcuterie kits or assortments and I stumbled upon Platterful just this past fall. My first pick is their Box & Board Bundle that includes a beautiful live-edge board as well as a exquisite assortment meats and chesses. Their choice of spreadables is spot on! If you ever wanted to do a food subscription service, then these are the guys to try. What could be more amazing that a month charcutrie kit automatically sent to you? The other kit to try is their famous basic Charcutrie Kit…nothing basic about it. This is the one I send as a gift to family and friends.
