Condiments To Compliment A Charcuterie Board
When you say charcuterie board, most people think of it as an upscale appetizer, most likely due to it's French origins and typically thought of as an arrangement of cured aged meats only to be bought at a high end delicatessen or artisan butchery shop. A spread of dry cured sausages and aged parma ham and duck terrines served with mini toasts and butter and a few condiments and pickles. Yes this is an example of a classic charcuterie spread and is my preferred take on a charcuterie board however, charcuterie boards can also be served in a more casual style such as a simple meat and cheese platter, an antipasto spread consisting of some cheese, meats and pickled veggies and even a ploughman's lunch which if you think about it, is kind of a deconstructed sandwich really. Basically a spread of cold cuts, some salami, pickles, crackers, crusty bread, chutney and cheese.
Whichever way you want to construct your charcuterie board, whether it be a sophisticated spread highlighting artisan made cured meats with types such as prosciutto di parma to jamón serrano to duck paté or it be a simpler spread including some genoa salami or sopressata with some cheddar and crackers we've got a range of condiments, chutneys and savory fruit spreads to liven up the board and add a nice accompaniment to your choice of meats, cheese, breads and crackers.
Our Favorite Condiments, Chutneys and Savory Fruit Spreads For Charctuerie Include:
1. Southern Style Rustic Mustard - Our Signature Pairing For All Charcuterie
Hands down a staple to a magnificent charcuterie board is a nice hearty mustard. Our Southern Style Rustic Mustard is a hearty wholegrain mustard with a southern barbecue inspired twist and a nice bit of vinegary tang. It's slightly sweet, peppery and tangy which makes it a phenomenal addition to a range of cured meats from sopressata (a rustic style Italian cured sausage) to capicola (also known as coppa - a smoked sausage) and salami. It's also delicious with cooked sliced ham, mortadella (Italian bologna - usually seen in the deli - looks like large bologna with olives and black peppers inside) and chicken liver pate (served with butter and toast). Our Southern Style Rustic Mustard is a perfect accompaniment to any charcuterie board you display from a swanky spread to a Super Bowl party platter and everything in-between.
