How Art de Cuisine Deli Boards Work
The magic of these deli boards lies in their thoughtful design. Each board features a durable, food-safe surface—typically acacia wood, slate, or porcelain—often with integrated handles for easy carrying during service. Many include clever design elements like juice grooves to capture runoff from charcuterie or cheeses, preventing messy tablecloths. The natural materials create a delightful temperature contrast with food (slate stays cool for cheese, while wood offers warmth for bread and meats). Their rustic yet sophisticated aesthetic provides the perfect backdrop for creative food arrangements, instantly elevating your culinary offerings with minimal effort!
