M Gelly Luxe Boards has celebrated a year of offering charcuterie catering for customers in the Liberty Hill, Leander and North Austin area.
The background
Maringelly Montañez, founder and operator of the company, began making charcuterie boards after searching for options to bring to a friend’s gathering and realizing there were few to choose from. Instead, she opted to bring her own.
“It started like a small board that people enjoyed a lot,” Montanez said. “After that, I started to create more and more boards to bring to different events, family events.”
Montañez draws inspiration from her Puerto Rican background and grandmother, who instilled in her values of hosting and looking after guests. She includes a Puerto Rican or tropical touch to her boards with unique ingredients. Additionally, each charcuterie board includes a QR code to a Spotify playlist.
“This is a gift to our customers, not just we are selling just a product,” Montañez said. “We are selling an experience.”

Montañez says the business is eyeing an expansion to a brick-and-mortar location in the Leander and Liberty Hill area.
Additionally, the business offers a charcuterie cart for indoor and outdoor events as well as a monthly charcuterie box subscription.
