Fun Fact! Paris food brand Michel et Augustin set a Guinness World Record on July 8 for the largest charcuterie board, which weighed 1,103.69 pounds (500.626 kg). Six commis chefs spent 2 days chopping and slicing 7 cured meats, 7 cheeses, 5 preserves and chutneys, and 11 fruits and vegetables. Then 25 employees spent five hours weighing and placing everything.
Because of the summer heat, the team prepared the board inside the company's temperature-controlled headquarters. They then moved it by air-conditioned truck to the gardens of Les Invalides, where hundreds of attendees sampled it. All 7 cheeses carried the European AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) label, which ties a product to a specific region and traditional production methods.
