BY LYNETTE CARRINGTON / D DELICIOUS BOARDS

When you think of charcuterie boards, you might think about the last time you were at a wine bar or Italian restaurant and ordered up a display of meat, cheese, and accoutrements. Delicious Boards is like that but more, changing the deliciously creative narrative into something else entirely. Owner Carmen Gutierrez invites everyone to discover the difference a “cure-ated” charcuterie board can make for any event, or simply a night at home.

“I was working in the mortgage industry and didn’t think this would get as big as it did!” says Carmen Gutierrez, who has always loved the experience of wine tasting and opened the business on her birthday in 2020. The first boards introduced focused on small and medium winetastingcentric boxes with just a couple of wood charcuterie boards. “This definitely started growing as people were requesting larger boards for their birthdays or various events at their home,” says Carmen. “Eventually converting into individual options, and

the now very famous ‘Grazing Tables.’” Delicious Boards always includes signature “roses” made from a variety of specialty meats, plus a diverse selection of artisan cheese. The famous hummus dip has emerged as a fan favorite, too. “It’s always customized from scratch and includes a variety of spices and garbanzo beans with flavored olive oil’s from CaliVirgin Olive Oil products,” Carmen says. Boards also incorporate fresh fruits, nuts, artichoke spinach dips, jellies, crackers, honey with an adorable honey dipper stick, “We are always open and bread on the to new ideas and side. Delicious suggestions to satisfy Boards are customizable our customers,” and offer a fantastic variety for any occasion. “We are always open to new ideas and suggestions to satisfy our customers,” says Carmen. “We have partnered up with many of our local Lodi wineries. A lot of our local wineries refer my business to their customers for their private events. Some carry them on a weekly basis like Valensin Vineyard in Galt.” Photo shoots, anniversaries, pop-up parties, date nights, holiday spreads, and Charcuterie Number Boards for birthdays are an elegant and thoughtful gift. “I also teach charcuterie classes either at wineries for the public or you can always book a private event for your friends or corporate team bonding experience,” says Carmen.
