Just when we thought that 2020 was done surprising us with unusual takes on charcuterie boards, another viral craze emerged online. Placing charcuterie board ingredients inside a jar, aka jarcuterie, is all the rage right now, and here’s why it’s the perfect trend for this holiday season.
Visually Appealing
Charcuterie boards owe its popularity to their visual appeal because there’s something amazing about seeing how perfectly arranged they can be. Jarcuterie comes in different shapes and forms, but no matter the style, they’re all equally Instagram-friendly across the board.
Individual Servings
Charcuterie boards aren’t the best idea right now, because they involve sharing food from the same platter. Jarcuterie, however, is much more COVID-19–friendly because everyone gets a single serving of food they’ll be eating on their own, while still enjoying the same great taste.
Portion Control
If you’re trying to stay fit and healthy this holiday season, portion control is the way to do it. Eating meats and cheeses from regular charcuterie boards is kind of addictive, but servings are limited when it comes to jarcuterie—and therefore it’ll be much easier to stop eating when you’re not feeling hungry.
