A Brief History of the Charcuterie Board
The word charcuterie comes from 15th-century France, meaning “cooked meats” (chair = flesh, cuit = cooked). Originally, it referred to the art of preparing and preserving meats like ham, pâté, sausage, and terrine — essential culinary traditions long before refrigeration.
Over time, this practice evolved into the modern charcuterie board — a beautifully arranged spread of cured meats, cheeses, fruits, nuts, crackers, and artisanal spreads.
At Salt and Board, we celebrate this rich heritage by blending timeless tradition with creative, modern flavors. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or treating yourself to a quiet night in, our boards are crafted to bring people together and turn any moment into something memorable.
Charcuterie has come a long way — and we’re proud to carry that story forward, one board at a time.
At the heart of Salt and Board Eatery, great food, fine wine, and warm hospitality inspire every detail of the experience. With a deep love for European-style charcuterie and a dream of creating a cozy gathering place, it turned vision into reality, blending rustic-luxury design with a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home.
