Event Details

How many people are you feeding for this event?

How will you serve your charcuterie? Individual portions, classic boards, or a full grazing table?

Is charcuterie just a light bite, a hearty appetizer, or meant to feel like the main meal?

If you're also serving pizza, a full dinner, or other mains, we'll gently reduce the portions here.

Longer events usually mean guests graze more. We'll add a little extra for longer celebrations.

Your Portion Recommendations

Here's a starting point for how much to shop for based on your event details.

Cheese

68.8 oz(≈ 4.3 lbs)

Aim for a mix of soft, semi-soft, and firm cheeses for variety.

Charcuterie Meats

55 oz(≈ 3.4 lbs)

Include a mix of salami, prosciutto, and other cured meats your guests will love.

Crackers & Bread

68.8 oz(≈ 4.3 lbs)

Offer at least 2–3 cracker styles or a mix of crackers and sliced baguette.

Fruit & Veg

55 oz(≈ 3.4 lbs)

Balance rich meats and cheeses with fresh fruit and crisp veggies.

Nuts & Sweets

34.4 oz(≈ 2.1 lbs)

Use nuts, chocolates, and dried fruits to fill gaps and add texture.

Suggested Setup

Multiple boards recommended - mix sizes for visual interest.

These are general guidelines. Your final setup can flex based on your table size, serving pieces, and how abundant you'd like the display to feel.

💡 Pro Tip: You can always round up a bit if your guests are big snackers or it's a special occasion. Better to have a little extra than run out!
