Splitting an app is grate and all, but let’s be real: cheese boards + charcuterie are a whole other indulgent feasting experience. We’ve put together a list of our favorite Lakeland spots to help you bring out your inner curd nerd. But first, let’s start with a lil’ cheesy vocab lesson.

Charcuterie (n.) – cold cooked meats collectively

Cheese (n.) – absolute heaven

Feelin’ like a cheese wiz, yet? Basically, add meat + cheese to plates, finesse some fruit, bread + spreads – and you’re in the board biz, baby.

Rather stay in with Netflix, wine, and your pajamas? (Same –– Katelyn + Kaylee here. 👋) We definitely suggest grabbing some cheeses from Publix on the way to the register, lactose-intolerance be damned. *Pours Lactaid in mouth*
