I'm so happy that my first review of the year is a 5-star review! Each year for New Year's, my husband and I just pick up a shrimp ring and a box of mixed hors d'oeuvres from the grocery store. This year I wanted something different... something special. A charcuterie board! Yes. That would be perfect. I was searching around online and found Charcuterie Pickering. They were close, their website was beautiful but most importantly, the reviews were great. I thought at first that they might be a better option for our corporate events but then I saw that they had all sorts of options available, large and small. I couldn't find a price list online so surely they're going to be too expensive for what I was looking for but thought, what did I have to lose by requesting a price list? I reached out via their website and Maria was quick to respond to my query. Much to my surprise (and happiness), the prices were reasonable. Since it was just for my husband and I, I opted for the small 10x10 box. Charcuterie Pickering accepts payment by etransfer and credit card (by phone). As I was paying by credit card, I had the opportunity to speak with Maria directly. She asked about allergies and preferences. Thankfully neither of us have any food allergies and because of that, I didn't want to limit her creativity by choosing any preferences. I wanted her to know that she had complete creative licence and mentioned my love for blue cheese so even that would be welcomed... you know, on the off-chance she may have some laying around. (Okay, so maybe that was one preference I was hoping she would include.) We scheduled our pick up for mid-afternoon on New Year's Eve and she came out to meet us at our car. Honestly, at first I was amazed by the weight of the box but as I peaked through the lid, my excitement grew! It was so hard to wait until later in the evening to have it and truth be told, we did dip into it a couple of times along the way. Our box included an assortment of meats, fresh and dried fruit, crackers, olives, jams, jellies and even honey with the most adorable wooden honey dipper. But there she was... tucked into a corner... the most glorious looking blue cheese! To be fair, that blue cheese was the reason why I couldn't wait and ended up sneaking a couple of bites early. Everything was absolutely fabulous... especially that blue cheese! My goodness, that blue cheese! Picking through the box was like a little food adventure... trying everything, in every combination. It was beautiful. It was delicious. It was perfect. I hope to make this my new New Year's tradition. read more

Charcuterie Pickering - Small Charcuterie Box - Caterers Near Me

I've had the pleasure of enjoying twice and both times were exceptional! The boxes were very luxurious and I definitely recommend getting it for any special occasion! Small box: Beautiful, colourful, delicious assortment! Plentiful enough for two plus a toddler as a light meal and even had some left over. Maria (owner) was super attentive regarding allergies, and even sent a picture to confirm the ingredients list for the artisanal crackers! I also mentioned in passing that it was for my birthday, and Maria included a HBD topper. So sweet! Anniversary box: Beautiful heart shaped box, two tiered so each layer is smaller. Top tier was supposed to be chocolate covered strawberries but it was unavailable and substituted with chocolates. 2nd tier had fruits, cheeses, and the meats. It even had a piece of honeycomb, our first time trying it, and it was delicious! I would have liked a bigger variety, but I believe if the top tier were the chocolate berries, it would have felt more complete. Family friendly: My toddler really enjoyed discovering all the treasures in the boxes, with many of the items being completely new to her. Aside from the one or two spicy cheese or cured meat in the box, she tries everything! (Note: Please do not give honey to young infants, speak to your child's pediatrician for more info.) read more

I will write an update of my review once I get my Charcuterie box. However, the experience of ordering, expressing my preferences in cheeses and meats, and Maria's (owner's ) thorough questions about allergies and sensitivities gives me confidence that this business will be a great asset to the Pickering food scene. The photos on her website are stunning, and I looked forward to picking up a small box (4-6 people) for New Year's Eve. Maria also agreed to add one of their handmade candy-filled cones for my daughter. Regularly, she the cones in sets of 6, so I am grateful for this extra attention. Now, for the update! It was a rainy nigh when I picked up the box and the cone. Maria generously offered to bring the box to my car. I could see, through the transparent window on the charcuterie box, that this was going to be an impressive spread. Sure enough, four different cheeses, and four different types of salumi. Also included: crackers; olives; honey with a little honey dipper, and lots of fruits, some of which were sculpted into forms worthy of a sushi chef!! Real artistry went into the creation of that board, and it looks like nothing that would ever have emerged from my kitchen had I created it! Guests ... impressed, noshing all evening. I tried to trick my husband into thinking that I'd made it (sorry Maria!), but he saw right through that one as soon as he saw the impressively curated board. We rang in the New Year with a beautifully presented charcuterie board, filled with very fine products. What a happy evening, and Charcuterie Pickering added that special touch. Maria is both passionate and knowledgeable about her products and their aesthetic appearance. Next time I need a charcuterie board, I know where I'm heading. Charcuterie Pickering certainly fills an empty niche in the Pickering area. read more

Owner really passionate and charcuterie board was very pretty. Filled with a variety of high quality cheese and meats. The rose gummy bears was a treat. It's a home based business but you can see her health safety certificate at the front of the house. read more
