Charcuterie board weighing a stunning 769 pounds shatters world record in Florida
A charcuterie board built in West Palm Beach, Florida, has broken the record for the world's largest board. The selection of meats and cheeses weighed 769 pounds.
Florida is now home to the world's largest charcuterie board.
Boarderie, a cheese and charcuterie board assembly and shipping company based in West Palm Beach, set out to break the previously established world record on Oct. 4, and built a 769-pound charcuterie board at the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach.
Guinness World Records verified the record attempt that same evening.

The record-breaking charcuterie board, which measured 20 by 14 feet, was assembled by 40 Boarderie staff members, according to Aaron Menitoff, co-founder and co-CEO of Boarderie.
It reportedly took Boarderie staff two hours to wire-cut 13 artisanal cheeses and five cured meats.
The cheese and meats were also paired with flatbread crackers, nuts, olives, dried fruits, chocolates and a variety of spreads.
Measuring and organizing the ingredients reportedly took four hours, while the assembly took one hour.

A total of 1,024 individual charcuterie trays were assembled.
They were then arranged into a single board.
Boarderie’s production team was able to take on the record-breaking task because they’re accustomed to hand-cutting and arranging up to 1,000 boards per day, according to Mentioff.
"Boarderie creates experiences every day that bring people together around celebrations and social occasions that start conversations and that's what we achieved here today on a very large scale," he said in a statement.
