Meat Cute: Charcuterie Boards for Every Couple

This year, Elyse Paré and Geza Tanner of Graze on Main have designed Valentine’s Day charcuterie boards with love in mind. Knowing opposites attract, their curated platters contain a perfect harmony of sweet and savory. Indulge in ribbons of Prosciutto di Parma, heart-shaped slices of sweet soppressata, a wedge of double creme brie adorned with honeycomb, and an Artigiano Vino Rosso (a wine-soaked cheddar/parmesan blend). Rounding out the sweet side, you’ll find fresh figs, grapes, and strawberries accompanying a mini jar of Nutella for schmearing, along with decadent European chocolates and Dutch Stroopwafel cookies filled with gooey caramel.

Either select a platter that’s been beautifully assembled for you or choose to make it an event by building the board yourself, following the “Charcuterie Map” that accompanies every DIY kit – or laying out the ingredients in any order your hearts desire. And Graze hasn’t forgotten our friends with special diets. Since these boards are available only on a preorder basis, special request allergy-friendly boards or items like a 100 percent plant-based and gluten-free fig salami from Greece.

Whether you’re planning on sharing this with someone special or the someone special is just you, we all deserve a little TLC: tender loving charcuterie. Order ahead online for pickup at their East Greenwich location.
