Generational Holiday Entertaining: Gen X's Charcuterie in a Cup

As we continue our series on generational holiday entertaining, it’s Gen X’s turn to wow us. We are also taking a look at how Boomers, Gen Xs, Millennials and Gen Zs assemble delicious cheese boards.

Nancy Bordeleau is a well-known foodie who knows her generation is adaptable and inventive. They saw the Internet coming and found ways to stay relevant which is evident in Nancy’s creative approach to charcuterie. She created Char-coup-erie…cheeseboard in a coupe glass! Or Charcu-tini if you prefer to use a martini glass. Each glass has different variations of ingredients including a delicious selection of Castello’s premium quality cheese, and with individual servings, it’s COVID friendly too.

Nancy featured Castello’s famous Danish Blue and cleverly paired it with sweet fruits and bagels for the perfect bite-sized pairings. She even crumbled cheese at the bottom to create the vibe of a crumb crust.
