Method

Assembly Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Board

    Select a large wooden or slate board as the base for your charcuterie.

  2. 2

    Arrange the Meats

    Start by arranging the cured meats on one side of the board. Fold or roll the slices for an appealing presentation.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Place the cheeses next to the meats, cutting them into wedges or slices for easy serving.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Accompaniments

    Fill the remaining space on the board with olives, cornichons, dried fruit, and nuts. Create small piles for visual interest.

  5. 5

    Finish with Crackers

    Scatter the crackers or breadsticks around the board, ensuring they are easily accessible.

  6. 6

    Add Sweet Touch

    Drizzle honey or place a small bowl of fig jam on the board for a sweet contrast to the savory items.

  7. 7

    Serve and Enjoy

    Once everything is arranged, serve the charcuterie board with small plates and forks for guests to help themselves.
