Who doesn't love a good charcuterie board? We certainly do.

No matter how many get-togethers you host, from holiday celebrations to dinner gatherings, charcuterie boards are the ideal way to entertain with no fuss. The best part is that no cooking is required.

Charcuterie boards are not governed by any rules, but we believe the best charcuterie boards only have products made in Ontario on them (including the board).

See how you can make the perfect Ontario-made board in just seven easy steps!
