As of late, the internet has been raving about Butter Boards – they’re the ‘Dalgona Coffee’ of 2022 if you must.

What Exactly Is A Butter Board?
If you’ve been online in the past few weeks, you might have come across people slathering dollops of softened golden butter onto a chopping board and garnishing it with everything that’s available under the sun! From sweet to savoury, there’s a Butter Board for every taste palette! But a Butter Board isn’t just a charcuterie-inspired phenomenon that’s got our interest piqued, it’s being dubbed as a “revolution” in the food world as millions of people around the globe are hopping onto the trend and making inspired choices.
Butter Boards first made an appearance in 2017 in Joshua McFadden and Martha Holmberg’s cookbook – Six Seasons. However, it wasn’t until Justine Doiron (a.k.a. @Justine_Snacks on TikTok) posted her version of a Butter Board in September that it became mainstream and the rest was history.

@thatcheeseplate BUTTER BOARD!! Everyone is saying this is the new charcuterie board but I kindly disagree. Cheese and butter can live in harmony! That being said I love butter and all for this new creation 🧈 @Justine Doiron #butter #butterboard #charcuterie ♬ Hilltop Road – Lake Isabel
