Charcuterie
Charcuterie boards typically feature a variety of cured meats with rich, savory, and sometimes fatty profiles, often accompanied by pickles, mustards, and complementary items. The best pairings cut through the richness while complementing the savory flavors, with effervescent or high-acid options working particularly well to cleanse the palate between different components.
