Edible Architecture, a new project from entrepreneur Avital Ungar, founder of Avital Food & Drink Experiences, introduces its Charcuterie Chalet kits. These kits offer a creative, fun, and savory alternative to the traditional gingerbread house, using ingredients typically found on a meat and cheese board. A part of the growing trend of charcuterie boards at celebrations and gatherings, Edible Architecture adds an interactive dimension to this tradition.

“When we first built charcuterie chalets at our company holiday party in 2021, it was such a delightful experience that I couldn’t stop thinking about it,” commented Ungar, owner and founder of Edible Architecture. “I realized we needed a grown-up version of the classic gingerbread house kit – one without all the sugar. And thus, Edible Architecture was born!”

Unlike the typical candy-filled sweet gingerbread kits, these Charcuterie Chalets incorporate savory, non-perishable ingredients that elevate both presentation and taste. Designed to engage food enthusiasts, families, and holiday hosts, the Charcuterie Chalet offers a hands-on way to connect with loved ones, making it a unique and shareable centerpiece at seasonal events.

Charcuterie Trend

Charcuterie boards have become a popular feature at events and home gatherings due to their versatility and visual appeal. Offering a variety of cheeses, meats, and fruits, they bring together flavors and textures that cater to different tastes. The Charcuterie Chalet builds on this trend by turning a spread of ingredients into a shared creative experience. This evolution from display to hands-on engagement makes the chalet an ideal fit for office parties, friends' get-togethers, or family celebrations. In addition to being a fun group activity, the chalets add an element of sophistication to holiday hosting, creating memorable moments for guests.

Ungar continued, “Our new Charcuterie Chalet kits are perfect for adults who want a savory twist on a holiday tradition. They make a beautiful centerpiece for your charcuterie board, or even the main event at a wine, cheese, and charcuterie chalet party with friends."

Great for Gifting

The Charcuterie Chalet also fits perfectly within the growing trend of experiential gifts. More consumers today are seeking activities that emphasize shared experiences over traditional presents. Kits like the Charcuterie Chalet appeal to this preference by offering something unique and interactive. They make an ideal gift for food lovers, holiday hosts, or anyone looking for a creative way to celebrate the season. Whether used as a present or as an icebreaker at events, these chalets encourage connection and engagement, resonating with a desire for more meaningful celebrations.

Viral Holiday Trend

Social media has amplified the popularity of food-based crafts, with viral videos and Pinterest boards showing creative ways to assemble these chalets. The Charcuterie Chalet has quickly become a favorite among influencers, offering an eye-catching addition to Instagram feeds and TikTok videos. With a viral TikTok amassing 4.9 million views and growing enthusiasm across social platforms, these chalets are poised to be a highlight of the holiday season.

The early feedback for the kits has been impressive.

"Move over sticky, candy-laden gingerbread houses, there's a new "edible architecture" in town, and it's savory." said the popular website Boing Boing.

With pre-orders now open, nationwide shipping will begin on November 4th, just in time for the holiday rush. Available both from the company directly and through retailers such as World Market, Big Lots, Spec’s, H-E-B, Gelson’s, and Giant Eagle, the kits are expected to be in high demand.

Charcuterie Chalets for All Occasions

As the holiday season approaches, the Charcuterie Chalet is a great way to celebrate any festive occasion. It can elevate your entertaining as a show-stopping centerpiece on your holiday charcuterie board. Charcuterie Chalets are a unique alternative to the classic gingerbread house, making it the perfect activity for holiday parties or family gatherings. They also make perfect gifts for the holidays, giving food-loving friends and loved ones an experience to create lasting memories.
