5 Tips to create the best Charcuterie!

What makes a good charcuterie? What are the essentials to creating an impressive charcuterie board for guests, or just for yourself?

Make it stand out

Feel free to design your board to showcase the array of delicious bites.

The basic foundation of most Charcuterie Boards:

• Different Meats and Cheeses

• Crackers, bite-sized bread,

• Veggies and Fruit.

  • Grapes, Apples, cherry tomatoes, and nuts (if you want to include these, it’s not necessary, especially if you are allergic).

• Chocolates (if you want to add something sweet to your salty).

How to make the selection visually appealing:

• Cut the meat into different shapes, and fold the meat in different ways.

• Cut up cheese into different shapes - cubes, strips, crumble some.
