Must-order: Original Sharecuterie Board
Cassandra, the creative mind behind Sharecuterie, made quite a leap back in October 2020. She went from being a psychiatric nurse to channeling her artistry into food, and believe me, the results are nothing short of amazing!
This place isn’t just about charcuterie boards; it’s about creating soulful experiences. She believes food, especially cheese, is more than just nourishment. It brings people together, and that sense of connection is at the heart of everything she does.
What really sets Sharecuterie apart is how deeply rooted it is in the community. It’s proudly Indigenous, celiac, and woman-owned, with a strong focus on inclusion and visibility—something we Winnipeggers really appreciate.
Every board is crafted with care, showcasing the best locally sourced ingredients in the city and across rural Manitoba.
Cassandra has a knack for finding what’s fresh, seasonal, and utterly delicious, and she’s incredibly mindful of allergies and dietary restrictions, making sure everyone can enjoy the feast.
