Who else hates the stress of hosting? Holiday season is officially here, which means a schedule jam-packed with family gatherings, parties, and dinners. I can't wait to have so many loved ones under one roof, but I simply don't have time to worry about what to serve my guests.
Boarderie Cheese & Charcuterie first caught my attention after Oprah spotlighted them on her Favorite Things list two years in a row. They were also featured on an episode of Shark Tank (and they scored an awesome deal with the Queen of QVC, Lori Greiner!).
I decided to check out their website, and it turns out Oprah and the sharks aren't the only ones raving about Boarderie:
I gave them a try and ordered their Oprah’s Favorites bundle, which comes with a deluxe charcuterie board and four decadent baked bries. This board isn't just your run-of-the-mill appetizer; it's a game-changer for holiday parties, gifting and anytime you need a show stopping food display. It absolutely did not disappoint. Here's why any holiday party (or birthday party, book club, or even just your average Thursday night - why not!) needs Boarderie:
The boards come fully assembled - AKA the only prep I need is taking it out of the box.
We all know how much time making beautiful charcuterie boards can take up - and frankly, it's time that nobody has. Whether I'm serving this myself or bringing it as a hostess present, I love knowing that it comes not only pre-assembled, but assembled BEAUTIFULLY.
The charcuterie board arrives cold, and completely arranged (just like you see on their website) no cutting or prepping required. Every ingredient is artfully arranged and perfectly in place when you open the box, you can really tell the amount of care that’s put into each selection.
They only craft a limited number of chef-made boards each day, and it shows. The board even comes on a stunning acacia wood serving board, which adds an extra touch of elegance to my dining table and can be reused.
Need a last minute hostess gift ASAP? Boarderie ships overnight, for free!
I feel so guilty showing up to family dinner empty handed, and love a hostess gift that's quick and easy, but also personal. Lucky for us, Boarderie offers free overnight shipping, but still uses only the highest quality, fresh, artisan ingredients. In other words, these chef-made charcuterie boards are just as convenient as they are tasty!
You can also order up to a year in advance; I've already got my orders placed for next years' Thanksgiving.
It comes with SO much different options (37!), there's something for everyone
Now, dealing with picky eaters on a regular basis is a challenge, but when the family is coming over for the holidays, it adds another layer of stress.
This Arte Cheese & Charcuterie Board (Oprah’s 2022 pick) is packed with over 37 hand-selected artisan cheeses, meats, dried fruits, nuts, chocolates, and spreads. There's literally something for everyone.
My box also included all four decadent brie options (Oprah’s 2023 pick), each featuring a unique blend of artisan cheeses and flavors, not just brie!
My personal favorite was the Blueberry, Vanilla & Ginger. It’s blueberry vanilla goat cheese paired with Thai crystallized ginger and honey on top of a classic French brie–trust me; you’ll love it just as much as Oprah does.
It's such a good deal
Now, let's talk about the price: while it may seem expensive, it would cost SOO much more to make something of this quality at home. For $299, you get an incredible array of over 37 different artisan cheeses, meats, nuts, fruits, etc. and 4 full, ready-to-bake pastries. Everything is pre-cut and ready to serve on arrival, saving you hours on shopping and prepping.
Yes, $299 is an investment, but it's worth every penny, especially if you're going to be entertaining. You get all the fancy fixings with none of the prep work! They also have boards in all different sizes starting at just $139.
It’s no wonder Boarderie made Oprah’s Favorite Things List…TWICE
I don’t think I need to remind anyone how challenging it is to host the whole family, or to find the perfect gift that feels special and unique for the holidays. Boarderie boards are EXACTLY that. Whether you’re gifting or hosting, these boards are a classy and sophisticated option that everyone will enjoy.
Boarderie is SO EASY to order online, so place your orders now before they all sell out!
