How To Make a Charcuterie Board?

1. Start with a large wooden or marble board as a base for your charcuterie display. This will give it a rustic and elegant look.

2. Begin by arranging the cheeses. Cut them into bite-sized pieces or thin slices and place them on the board.

3. Next, add the meats. Roll or fold the turkey, ham, and salami slices and place them alongside the cheeses. This variety of meats will offer a nice selection for your guests.

4. Now, let’s add some fresh fruits. Slice the green apple into thin wedges and place them on the board. The green grapes can be left in clusters or separated and scattered around the board.

5. To add some briny flavors, include a bowl of olives on the board. You can choose different types like Kalamata or green olives to provide some variety.

6. For some crunch, scatter sunflower seed kernels and peanuts on the board. These will complement the other flavors and textures.

7. Let’s add some sweetness! Place a small bowl of honey, strawberry jam, and even some honeycomb on the board. These can be drizzled over the cheeses or enjoyed on their own.

8. Finally, add a plate of toasted bread or some pretzels to accompany the charcuterie. These can be used as a base for toppings or enjoyed on their own.
