Platterful Charcuterie Kit Review: 2023 Experience

This review reflects Platterful’s service and pricing in 2023. Subscription options, box contents, charitable claims and prices may have changed since then, so check current details before ordering.

Platterful offered a convenient way to assemble a charcuterie board without sourcing every ingredient separately. The service combined meats, cheeses and shelf-stable accompaniments with written and video instructions for arranging the board.

What came in a Platterful box

At the time of our review, boxes included a rotating mix of meats, cheeses, jams, mustards, nuts, chocolates, dried fruit, olives and crackers. Chilled items required refrigeration, while many accompaniments could remain shelf-stable until needed.

What made it convenient

The main appeal was the all-in-one format. Instead of shopping for each component separately, the box arrived with the ingredients and guidance needed to build a board. Platterful also supplied instructions covering details such as cutting cheese, storing ingredients and arranging salami.

Subscription and pricing in 2023

When this article first ran, Platterful offered one-time purchases and subscription options. Prices cited in the original review started at $65 for a standard box, $99 for a large box and $179 for a three-month subscription. Those figures are historical and should not be treated as current pricing.

Charitable claim

Platterful stated in 2023 that it donated 10 meals for every box sold to help address childhood hunger. Because charitable partnerships and donation programs can change, verify the company’s current program if that is an important part of your purchase decision.

How it compares with other charcuterie ideas

Bottom line

Platterful’s strength was convenience: ingredients, instructions and presentation guidance arrived together in one box. For shoppers who enjoy charcuterie but do not want to source each component individually, that made the service appealing in 2023.
