M Gelly Luxe Boards, a charcuterie and catering business, is celebrating its first year of operation in Central Texas. Founder and operator Maringelly Montañez started making charcuterie boards after realizing there were few options available for a friend’s gathering. She decided to create her own and soon found herself making more boards for various events and family gatherings.
Background and Inspiration
Montañez draws inspiration from her Puerto Rican background and grandmother, who taught her the importance of hosting and taking care of guests. She incorporates a Puerto Rican or tropical touch into her boards using unique ingredients. Each charcuterie board also includes a QR code that links to a Spotify playlist, which Montañez considers a gift to her customers, providing an experience beyond just a product.
The business offers a charcuterie cart for indoor and outdoor events, as well as a monthly charcuterie box subscription. Montañez is eyeing an expansion to a brick-and-mortar location in the Leander and Liberty Hill area.
