Everyone knows this year’s holiday season is going to be different which is all the more reason to treat yourself well with some beautifully presented, high-quality treats. I’m talking about charcuterie boards artfully arranged with upscale meats, cheeses, crackers, nuts, olives and condiments.
Charcuterie is perfect for a light meal, afternoon snack or appetizer. While it is a grand way to pamper yourself, a stunning-looking cheese and meat board makes an impressive gift. You can purchase them at several places in the Springs, some that also include cocktails and wine options with their charcuteries.
Bramble & Brie Charcuterie Co., 2727 N. Cascade Ave. (in the Lincoln Elementary School Redevelopment), specializes in charcuterie boxes and is new to Colorado Springs. The business is the brainchild of Jennifer Denman of Snowberry Bakehouse (at the same location), Niki Scott and Patti Brunk.
