Central Market Sets Guinness World Record with Largest Charcuterie Board in the World

Central Market has officially marked its 30th anniversary in a colossal way by breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest charcuterie board. On Wednesday, September 11, 2024, the grocery chain unveiled a 12-foot by 24-foot board, stacked with 1,000 pounds of artisanal meats, cheeses, and accompaniments, earning the title of the largest charcuterie board ever created and consumed.

Paul Harty, General Manager of Central Market North Lamar, expressed the excitement of this achievement, saying, “We are beyond excited to celebrate Central Market’s 30 years, and what better way to mark this milestone anniversary than with a food-themed GUINNESS WORLD RECORD™!”

A Feast for Foodies

The record-breaking charcuterie board was a visual and culinary spectacle. Guests indulged in 540 pounds of cured meats, including Niman Ranch applewood-smoked ham, Levoni schiacciata piccante, and Salami Napoli. On the cheese side, 240 pounds of rich Manchego and decadent triple-cream brie cheeses were paired with 130 pounds of fresh fruits like Divina Castelvetrano olives. To top it off, 90 pounds of Divina fig spread and Janet’s Finest mixed berry jalapeño compote added the perfect finishing touch.

Guests were invited to Central Market’s first-ever location on North Lamar to partake in the celebration. Attendees enjoyed live music on the patio, drinks, and, of course, bites from the massive charcuterie board.

Giving Back to the Community

True to its longstanding tradition of supporting Texas communities, Central Market used the event as an opportunity to give back. A special $30,000 check was presented to the St. David’s Foundation, further emphasizing Central Market’s commitment to philanthropy.

Anniversary Celebrations Continue

The excitement doesn’t stop there. Central Market will continue its 30th anniversary celebrations through September 24 with a series of in-store events. The “Let’s Renew Our Wows” campaign will feature foodie strolls, cooking classes, and interactive events that highlight the store’s deep connection with the local culinary scene.
