Fully Scratch-Made Charcuterie Board Experience

Join us at The Food Lab for a one-of-a-kind hands-on experience where you’ll craft an entire charcuterie board from scratch—yes, even the board itself!

Partnering with local artisan Bob Ortiz, this immersive two-part workshop delves deep into the art of traditional food preparation and woodworking.

You’ll create:

• Traditionally fermented, cured salami

• Pâté

• Handcrafted cheese

• Fermented roasted red peppers

• Homemade mustard

• Soaked and roasted flavored nuts and seeds

• Sourdough crackers

• A stunning live-edge wooden charcuterie board
  

Two-Class Structure:

• In Class 1 (May 17), you’ll explore the science and traditions behind each food while getting hands-on with grinding meat, stuffing casings, stretching curd, shaping cheese, fermenting peppers, refreshing sourdough starter at the Food Lab and preparing your wooden board at Bob Ortiz’s Studio.

• In Class 2 (June 7), you’ll finish your creations—rolling and baking sourdough crackers, making mustard, seasoning nuts and seeds—and complete your handcrafted board to beautifully showcase your homemade feast.
