No matter what your holiday celebrations look like this year, an artful cheese and charcuterie board will not disappoint. You can create your own crowd-pleaser with the addition of an array of Southern snacks and sides that are handcrafted or cultivated by locals. Treat a gathering of any size to a sampling of the South, and serve these spreads, nuts, and preserves alongside your favorite cheeses and cured meats.

Royal Fuzz Bee Co. Raw Estate Honey

The healthy, fuzzy bees of Royal Fuzz Bee Co. produce this golden honey on Luke and Katie Garner’s farm outside of Birmingham, Alabama. With bright notes of honeysuckle, privet, and wildflowers, the raw nectar is all-natural and will please even the pickiest of honey purists. Drizzle it over a soft cheese for a marriage of sweet and salty flavors.
