Preparation

  1. 1

    Select the Board

    Choose a large wooden or marble board as the base for your charcuterie presentation.

  2. 2

    Arrange the Meats

    Begin by arranging the cured meats (prosciutto, salami, chorizo) on one side of the board. Fold or roll the slices for an appealing presentation.

    Add the Cheeses

    Place the cheeses (brie, cheddar, gorgonzola) on the other side of the board. Cut some into wedges or cubes for easy serving.

    Incorporate Accompaniments

    Fill in the gaps with olives, pickles, and hummus. Use small bowls for hummus and nuts to keep the board tidy.

  5. 5

    Add Fresh Fruits

    Scatter fresh fruits like grapes and figs around the board for color and sweetness.

  6. 6

    Finish with Crackers or Bread

    Place crackers or slices of bread around the edge of the board for guests to enjoy with the meats and cheeses.
