We’re a big fan of charcuterie spreads. We love charcuterie boards because they look amazing on any table, work for any type of gathering, and there’s something delicious for everyone to enjoy! Guests nosh on them upon arrival, and they double as a tasty edible centerpiece that can be nibbled on all night long. An impressive (and delicious) charcuterie board includes a vast selection of good quality meats, cheeses, crackers, nuts, olives, and of course- charcuterie spreads! Skip the grocery shelves and cook up two flavor-packed spreads for your board.

Our Onion Fig Jam and Mustard Relish charcuterie spreads are easy to make and compliment any charcuterie board. Bonus- these tangy spreads are also vegan, giving a plant-based option to guests who require one.
