Brand expands successful charcuterie product line

Columbus Craft Meats, the number one Italian deli meats brand in the United States, announced the expansion of its Columbus® Charcuterie Tasting Board line just in time for the Holidays.

The new Columbus® Mediterranean Charcuterie Tasting Board adds new options inspired by the flavors of the region and contains premium ingredients on a wood-printed board. The board highlights Mediterranean ingredients, including Columbus® chorizo, prosciutto, Taralli crackers, dried Turkish apricots, Fontina cheese and a French olive medley.

“Our original Columbus® Charcuterie Tasting Board has been a huge hit with consumers, as it makes the premium charcuterie experience easy and convenient for everyone,” said Caviness Drake, associate brand manager for Columbus Craft Meats. “We know that consumers continue to look for new and different flavor combinations with charcuterie. The new Columbus® Mediterranean Charcuterie Tasting Board is able to do that, while still being convenient and easy to serve.”

“We understand people are getting together in smaller groups these days, but they still don’t always have the time to shop and put together a high-quality and great-looking charcuterie board. With the new Columbus® Mediterranean Charcuterie Tasting Board, we are continuing to provide everyone with quick, delicious options that look and taste fantastic.”

The new Columbus® Mediterranean Charcuterie Tasting Board retails for approximately $13.99 and is available nationwide. For more information on the Columbus™ brand, including where to purchase, please visit www.columbuscraftmeats.com
