Begin by selecting a large wooden or marble board as your base for the charcuterie. Make sure it is clean and dry.

Slice the Meats
Using a sharp knife, slice the prosciutto, salami, and soppressata into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them on one side of the board in a visually appealing manner.

Cut the Cheeses
Cut the brie, cheddar, and gorgonzola into wedges or cubes. Place them on the opposite side of the board from the meats, ensuring variety in shape and texture.

Fill in the gaps between the meats and cheeses with olives, mixed nuts, and grapes. Use small bowls or ramekins for honey and Dijon mustard for easy serving.
