Custom Charcuterie Boards
Scottsdale & Phoenix
Artisan Boards That
Start Every Great Evening
A great charcuterie board is not a pile of deli meat on a cutting board. It is a first impression. It is the thing guests see when they walk through your door and immediately understand that this host takes quality seriously. It sets the tone for everything that follows — the conversation, the evening, the memory of the night.
Chef Anthony Primera's custom charcuterie boards and grazing tables are built with the same culinary intentionality he brings to every multi-course dinner. Every component is selected and sourced with purpose: aged charcuterie from artisan producers, imported cheeses at peak condition, housemade accompaniments, seasonal fruits and vegetables, specialty nuts, honeycomb, artisan crackers, and fresh herbs arranged with visual precision that makes the board itself a centerpiece.
Charcuterie boards from A Prime Dinners are available for any occasion: cocktail party openers, backyard gatherings, holiday spreads, office parties, corporate networking events, bridal showers, birthday celebrations, and intimate date nights. They pair beautifully as a pre-dinner appetizer course before a full private chef dinner or can stand alone as the featured food element at a smaller gathering.
Chef Primera serves charcuterie board clients across Scottsdale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Tempe, Chandler, and the East Valley. Boards are assembled fresh and delivered ready to serve — or assembled in your home as part of a larger dining experience.

A Prime Dinners charcuterie boards are particularly popular as a complement to a larger private chef evening — as the cocktail hour opener before a multi-course dinner or as a pre-meal nibble course before Chef Primera begins cooking. When the board and the dinner are both from Chef Primera, the entire evening has a coherent culinary vision from the first bite to the last.
For larger events, the full grazing table format — spanning 6 to 10 feet of continuous spread across multiple boards and serving vessels — creates a dramatic visual centerpiece for holiday parties, corporate events, and large celebrations. The grazing table format works particularly well for cocktail-style events where guests move freely and the food remains the focal point of the room throughout the evening.
Housemade accompaniments — including flavored honeys, seasonal jams, whipped compound butters, and custom spiced nuts — are a consistent differentiator in Chef Primera's boards versus standard catering. These small details are the ones guests comment on and come back to.

Frequently Asked
Questions
How far in advance should I order a charcuterie board?
Most standard charcuterie boards can be ready with 48 to 72 hours notice. For larger grazing tables, multi-board displays, or events requiring specialty imported components, 1 to 2 weeks lead time is recommended. For holiday events, book as early as possible.
What is the difference between a charcuterie board and a grazing table?
A charcuterie board is a single curated board — typically serving 4 to 12 people — featuring charcuterie, cheese, accompaniments, and garnishes. A grazing table is a large, continuous spread across multiple boards and serving vessels, typically serving 20 to 50+ people and covering 6 to 10 feet of table space. Both are available from A Prime Dinners.
Can I request specific cheeses or meats?
Yes. If you have specific preferences — a particular aged cheese, a regional charcuterie, a dietary restriction that affects component selection — mention it when you book. Chef Primera will source specifically for your order.
Are charcuterie boards available for delivery or do I need to pick them up?
Chef Primera delivers boards directly to your home or event venue in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and surrounding areas. Delivery details including location and timing are coordinated at the time of booking.
Can a charcuterie board be added to a private chef dinner booking?
Absolutely — and this is one of the most popular combinations. A charcuterie board during cocktail hour while Chef Primera preps the first dinner course creates a seamless, fully hospitality-driven evening from the moment guests arrive. Mention it when booking your dinner and Chef Primera will incorporate it into the event plan.
