I recently read in a woodworker’s forum that the reason to use the term charcuterie is just so you can charge more for the board.
Hogwash.
When I started making boards, I didn’t even know what “charcuterie” was. It’s a French term for prepared meats, such as bacon, ham, sausage, etc. And, in reality, any board can be used for charcuterie, just as any board can be used for cutting, cheese & crackers, fruits, or what have you.
Any of my boards, anyway.
These boards are my choice for charcuterie. I love the curvy edges. The board just feels right in your hand.
Your mileage may vary, of course. Buy one of these, and you can call them anything you want!
