Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meats

    Arrange the prosciutto, salami, and chorizo in small folds on one side of the board. Use a mix of straight and curved placements for visual appeal.

  2. 2

    Add the Cheeses

    Cut the Brie into wedges, cube the aged cheddar, and place the goat cheese in a small bowl for easy serving. Position these cheeses adjacent to the meats.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Olives

    Place the green and Kalamata olives in small bowls or directly on the board, spreading them out to create a balanced look.

  4. 4

    Add Nuts

    Scatter the almonds and walnuts around the board, ensuring they fill in any gaps between the meats, cheeses, and olives.

  5. 5

    Include Additional Toppings

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange them in groups. Slice the cucumber into rounds and place those around the board. Cut the baguette into slices and arrange them on the side. Drizzle honey over the cheese or place it in a small dish.

  6. 6

    Garnish with Fresh Herbs

    Sprinkle the fresh herbs around the board for an aromatic touch and add a pop of color.

Serving

  1. 7

    Final Touches

    Ensure the board is visually appealing by adjusting the arrangement if necessary. Serve the board with additional small plates and napkins for guests to enjoy.
