Instructions
Preparation
- Choose a large board or platter for your charcuterie.
- Arrange the meats in one section, folding or rolling them for a nicer presentation.
- Add the cheeses, cutting them into slices or cubes.
- Fill in empty spaces with fresh and dried fruits.
- Scatter nuts around the board.
- Add olives or pickles for extra flavor.
- Place crackers or slices of bread on the side.
- Drizzle some honey or jam over the cheese if desired.
Notes
Serve as a shared appetizer or snack. Pair with drinks like wine or light cocktails. If you have leftovers, wrap the meats and cheeses separately and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Fresh fruits and nuts are best eaten right away. Customize the board for themes, like Italian or vegetarian options.
