Creating a Charcuterie board can be intimidating with all the "How to's" and pinterest pictures you see. However it can be very simple and the best part of any gathering. Follow these 5 simple tips to create your next Charcuterie board.
🧀 1. Mix Up Textures & Flavors
Cheeses: Choose a variety—soft (brie, goat), semi-soft (havarti, gouda), and hard (aged cheddar, manchego).
Meats: Think salty prosciutto, spicy salami, and rich pâté.
Balance: Sweet (honey, dried fruit), savory (olives, pickles), and spicy (mustard, hot soppressata) elements keep things interesting.
🍞 2. Use a Solid Base & Vessels
Offer a variety of breads and crackers: baguette slices, seeded crackers, crostini, and gluten-free options.
Think textures: crunchy, chewy, soft.
🍇 3. Add Freshness & Color
Use fresh fruits and veggies for color and palate cleansers.
Ideas: grapes, berries, figs, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices.
Bonus: Use herbs (like rosemary or thyme) as edible garnish.
🥜 4. Don’t Forget the Extras
Nuts (almonds, pistachios), dips (hummus, artichoke dip), spreads (balsamic glaze, jalapeno jelly) add depth and surprise.
Little bowls or ramekins keep things tidy and organized.
🎨 5. Presentation is Key
Go for organized chaos—layer and fan items naturally but not too symmetrical.
Start with anchors (cheeses/meats), then fill in with smaller items.
Use a large wooden board, slate, or even butcher paper for rustic vibes.
