A review of Boarderie, the first nation-wide pre-arranged cheese and charcuterie board delivery service in the United States!

I first heard about the company Boarderie a few months ago and I’ve been waiting for the right time to treat myself. I’m so glad I finally got one!

Really it was an impulse buy because I heard they were going to appear on Shark Tank, and I wanted to get one before they had a mad-rush of orders!

And, they are also the top foodie gift on this year’s list of Oprah’s Favorite Things.

Talk about popular!

I don’t know how those things will affect shipping times by the time you’re reading this, but normally shipping times are FAST (ships out next day after ordering, with overnight delivery).

Since I don’t eat meat, I love that they offer cheese only boards.

(Disclaimer: Some of the cheeses may be made with animal rennet or enzymes, and therefore would not be considered vegetarian.)

I first ordered the Ciccetti All Cheese Board ($129), which serves 3-4 people, and have since tried the Diletto All Cheese Board which serves 5-6 ($159) and the newest all-cheese large board, the Art All Cheese Board which serves 9-10 people.

It arrives with the cheese pre-cut, the nuts in plastic baggies and everything mostly arranged for you.

All you need to do is take off the plastic wrap and un-bag the nuts, etc. when ready to serve.

This smaller cheese board has a total of 16 hand selected ingredients: 7 varieties of cheeses, 8 side accompaniments like dried fruit and nuts, and 1 box of rosemary and olive oil crackers.

All on a nice reusable 9 inch square acacia wood board, and ready to serve!

The standard cheeses for this board include (substitutions may occur due to availability): Coppinger, Cranberry Chipotle Cheddar, Caraway Cheddar, Blueberry Wensleydale, BellVitano Espresso, Fig Goat Milk Cheese and Cocoa Cardona.

Accompaniments include: dried fruit (like strawberries, figs, papaya), variety of almonds, a marmalade, espresso candies and a box of crackers.

And for easy sharing, also included are bamboo forks, a tong and a jam knife!

Some of their pre-made boards serve as many as 12 people, which is perfect for a large family dinner or holiday gathering, main appetizer or party finger food.

In addition, they have a delicious looking baked brie board.

With 4 baked brie flavors like “Chocolate, Espresso and Raspberry” to “Blueberry, Vanilla and Ginger” that is the ultimate baked brie spread.

Sure I know how to make my own, but seriously – those flavors!

Plus, the baked brie pastries are able to be frozen for later and baked fresh within one year of receiving.

You can also schedule your delivery date for any board if you want to make sure it arrives fresh for your event.

Overall, I think these make great gifts or treats for special occasions.

If you’ve ever tried to make your own cheese board, you know how much work it can be to put together. And the costs still add up when you buy each ingredient yourself!

I do wish it came with an easy cover to store leftovers, or for when you need to have it ready to go and want to get everything out of the plastic ahead of time.

I ended up just using aluminum foil to cover mine for later after I initially opened to taste test.

Everything on the board is delicious and unique! Definitely not cheeses you’d normally get at the grocery store.

Having cheese only options (without charcuterie) make this more versatile, though still be aware that they are not all vegetarian specific cheeses.

(Another option is the foodie gift crates from iGourmet, and they do have a vegetarian specific cheese box!)

Do you want to be the hostess with the mostest? Do you want to send a gift that will have your loved ones raving about your thoughtfulness? Order a cheese board from Boarderie.

In addition to ordering from their website, you can also find them (usually about $10 more, but also free shipping!) on Amazon.

My wife and I got one for Christmas from one of our sons. She didn't make any comment after trying it. I tried most of the things in it and I really didn't like it. At all. Tangerine flavored spanish olives?? really? Over half of the items were sweet. Most of the meat was tough and hard to chew. Not my choice for a charcuterie board. I will inform my son we don't want another one for a gift. Sorry, it's just not our cup of tea.

Excellent cheese and meat board - very well done, and thoughtfully selected. The one reservation I have is the political bent of the company and where the money may be going. Check the address of the company - and check the latest favorite celebrity offering - to see what I mean. I would advise them to not fall into the woke trap - as they will alienate half the population. Take Elvis' advice and keep out of it. Stick to the food.

@The Fat Man, - But I could be wrong about them and they just are what they say - and it's just coincidence about the street they're on, and the 'favorite things celebrity' - right? If so, sorry to cast aspersions.

We have ordered the $159 Board for delivery to my niece in CO on 12/23/22. As of this date, 12/26/22, it has not arrived! I realize weather has been an issue. I’m concerned that she will be stuck with all these cheeses, etc as family members are leaving in the next couple of days to return to their out of state homes.. I would have appreciated the Boarderie company answering my email as what we do in a case such as this. Also a phone message could not be left on their voicemail due to it reaching its full capacity probably from other customers in my situation. I realize the product is of premium quality; however, the company may want to revisit their customer communication protocol in a situation such as this.

I actually had a board scheduled to be delivered to Denver, CO on Christmas and they sent communication the week of saying they were not able to guarantee delivery because of the bad snow storm! They let me cancel mine and also gave the option to apply it to a future board. Weather delays and issues are frustrating but obviously not within a company's control.

@BJ Overall, I agree. I ordered end of Nov for a 12/23/22 delivery for a Christmas Day dinner celebration. I received an email on 12/22 saying they shipped overnight but it may be delayed. It was… by 5 days. It only has a 5 to 7 day shelf life and everyone was gone. Turns out Fed Ex overnight does NOT mean next day delivery… it means the next day they decide to work. I called customer service and asked for a refund on the pricey $225 tray that arrived less than fresh. They refused and offered a 50% discount. Why would I order again since They promise something they cannot deliver. Very disappointing since I ordered 9 tests from them this holiday season. Won’t make that mistake again.

My daughter sent me a board from Boarderie- I’ve never experience the flavors of cheese, salami, figs etc. I’m Italian and I’ve experience many flavors in my life but this board is absolutely the best I’ve ever tasted. The presentation on the board and compartments was tastefully done. I highly recommend Boarderie!
