Charcuterie is one of those culinary buzzwords that’s really taken off in recent years thanks to social media. But what exactly is it? Classic charcuterie is actually a French term referring to cold, cured meats, but the age of the food blog has led many chefs and home cooks to put their own spin on charcuterie. If you’re looking to veg-ify your board, Miyoko’s Creamery cheeses should be your go-to. Miyoko Schinner is an American chef most known for her out-of-this-world dairy-free cheeses. There are plenty of decent vegan cheese brands out there, but Miyoko’s will take your charcuterie to a whole new level.
Choose a Cheese Wheel
Gone are the days where vegan cheeses taste like plastic. We love Miyoko’s cashew milk artisan cheese wheels as the centerpiece of our boards. You can’t go wrong with any of the flavors, but the sundried tomato and garlic is really something special. Let it shine by enjoying with plain water crackers.
Cultured Butter
It may sound odd, but hear us out—who doesn’t love garlic bread? Create little crostini to enjoy with your cheese by spreading small pieces of baguette with Miyoko’s Garlic Parm cultured butter and toasting until crispy. Top it with even more cheese and thank us later.
Something Sweet
The key to a good charcuterie board is variety, so be sure to balance out your savory cheeses by including something a little sweet. Miyoko’s Cinnamon Raisin Cream Cheese is a perfect spreadable choice that pairs beautifully with fresh fruit, pretzel sticks, or even squares of dark chocolate.
