Meet 9 Extremely Talented Hudson Valley Charcuterie Influencers

Charcuterie Boards are so in right now.

Back in December, while making plans for the holidays, my cousin and I said we wanted to make these elaborate Charcuterie Boards we see on social media for the holidays. We quickly realized we had no idea what we were doing and are not nearly as talented as some of the Charcuterie Board artists across the Hudson Valley.

When Did Charcuterie Boards Get So Popular?

It feels like it happened overnight, but it seems like on every menu or any appetizer table there's always a Charcuterie Board involved. It probably has something to do with how absolutely gorgeous these meat and cheese creations are.

In 2020, Business Insider reported:

Though charcuterie first rose to prominence in 15th century France, meat-and-cheese boards have spiraled into a massive trend on social media, propelling some enthusiasts to the status of "charcuterie influencer."

Just another thing to blame on millennials, but let's be honest...we should be thanking them. Charcuteries Boards are a delicious blend of decadent savory and sweet foods. It's a flavor explosion on a wooden board.
