Charcuterie Boards For Dietary Preferences: Gluten-Free, Vegetarian, and Vegan
Charcuterie boards, with their exquisite array of cured meats, cheeses, fruits, and accompaniments, have long been a favourite for food enthusiasts. However, for those with dietary preferences and restrictions such as gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan diets, the traditional charcuterie board may not be an option. But fear not, as we're here to introduce you to a world of inclusive and delectable charcuterie boards that cater to every dietary preference.
Gluten-Free Charcuterie Delights
-
Gluten-Free Cured Meats: Start by exploring the world of gluten-free cured meats. Many traditional options like prosciutto, salami, and chorizo are naturally gluten-free, making them perfect additions to your gluten-free charcuterie board.
-
The Perfect Pairings: We recommend gluten-free crackers and bread to accompany your meats and cheeses. Rice crackers, gluten-free baguette, or even crisp slices of apple or pear can be fantastic alternatives.
-
Add a Little Something Sweet: Enhance the flavour profile of your board with gluten-free fruit preserves or chutneys. The sweet and savoury combination is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
All of our charcuterie boards can be modified to accommodate gluten-free dietary restrictions and preferences.
Vegetarian Charcuterie Extravaganza
-
Plant-Based Meats: Options like seitan, tempeh, or marinated portobello mushrooms can mimic the flavors and textures of traditional charcuterie.
-
Vegetarian Cheeses: The world of vegetarian cheeses is vast and flavourful.

Pairing It Right: Accompany your cheeses with fresh figs, nuts, or olives. A drizzle of balsamic reduction can add depth and complexity to the board.
