So, it’s hot. Your schedule is relentless. And the thought of cooking right now? Forget it. Sure, we love a good barbecue, but sometimes the ideal plan involves kicking back with stellar food, choice wine, and a handful of your favorite people. Bring on the no-cook meal.

Charcuterie boards are one of our go-to summer meals, and at DeLaurenti we’ve got everything you need. We’d love to see you in the store, but if time is not on your side, our online store is at your service. We ship same day throughout the greater Seattle area and overnight shipping is available for other locations.

A first-rate charcuterie board should include an array of cured meats, hard and soft cheeses, and a variety of accompaniments that counterbalance the fat and salt of the meats and cheeses. Think briny items like tinned fish and cornichons, sweets like dried figs and marmalades, crunchy treats like nuts and the best chips — and, of course, bread, crackers, and olives.

For a full-meal, figure on four ounces of meat and cheese per person plus accoutrements (halve that for an appetizer plate). Not sure what to choose? We have a variety of handpicked options:

The Picnicker (serves 4)

Staff Pick Antipasti (you choose the number of servings)

Staff Pick-Just Cheese (you choose the number of servings)

Regional Antipasti Trays (you choose the number of servings)

In store, our knowledgeable staff can steer you to what you’re craving, or help you find something new to round out your feast. We designed our online store to echo the in-store experience as best we could (sans smells and the opportunity to taste samples). Our world-renowned cheese case is organized by type for easy browsing or zeroing in on your favorites. High-resolution photos allow you to view the cheese better than you probably could in person. And just like in the store, you can order as little as a quarter pound. We’ll expertly slice and wrap your cheese and add it to your box. Same with the meats. Choose from pate, salame, prosciutto and more. Click on any item, and you’ll find helpful descriptions complete with background information and detailed flavor descriptions just like you get from our experts behind the counter. Then wander through the grocery items. You’ll find unbelievably good chocolate from around the world, an assortment of crackers, stuffed olives, cookies, and much more.

Finally, there’s that other food group: wine! Located upstairs from our deli, we have a selection of wines that represent a tapestry of styles, regions, and price points. Whether you prefer Italian wines, French wines, or Spanish ones, we will find something in your price range. We also have a fine selection of wines from the PNW. Our wine experts will help you choose exceptional wines that suit your palate and fit your budget.

We celebrate the no-cook meal year-round, but there’s no better time than summer to enjoy the elegant simplicity of a beautifully curated spread of delicious foods.
