What is Charcuterie?

Charcuterie is a beautiful presentation of refined flavors. These boards contain a variety of meats and cheeses accompanied by an assortment of fruit, nuts, jams, and crackers. Great as an appetizer, they’re the perfect addition to any party and will keep your guests happy and satisfied.

Crafting Your Charcuterie Board

The beauty of a charcuterie board is that it can be customized to fit guest preferences, time of year, or a specific occasion. To create a festive charcuterie board ready for your party, you’ll need one that incorporates the flavors of the holidays and winter weather.

Meats
Using both salty and savory meats will not only add variety to your charcuterie board, but will also offer your guests a selection of meats to try. Prosciutto, salami, and soppressata are easy to grab and complement most types of cheese and crackers.

Get creative with the presentation by arranging the meat into rosettes or folding it to be visually appealing. This will help organize and enhance your personalized charcuterie board.

Cheese
The possibilities are endless when it comes to what cheese you’d like to fill your personalized charcuterie board. We recommend a mixture of both classic and creamy cheeses to satisfy all of your guests’ taste buds.

Classic, or hard, cheeses are kinds like cheddar, gouda, gruyere, parmesan, and goat cheese. Creamy, or soft, cheeses offer a mouth-watering, buttery flavor and include camembert, brie, cream cheese, and burrata, among others.

Creamy cheeses pair best with fruits and sweet wine, while classics deliciously accommodate nuts.

Crackers and Nuts
An array of crackers, bread, and nuts are vital for your winter charcuterie board. Spread creamy cheeses onto the crackers or top with meat for a bite bursting with flavor.

Artisan crackers, water biscuits, and herb crackers are crowd-favorites that pair well with bold flavors.

Nuts add a salty crunch to your custom charcuterie board and can fill empty space wherever needed. Try incorporating hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios and cashews.

Extras
Extras are the items that add color, flavor, and seasonal flare to your personalized charcuterie board. Try adding fresh or dried fruit, fresh herbs, chocolate, or jams to decorate your board and give it that “wow” factor.

For fruits, consider grapes, blueberries, apples, pomegranate and pears. Herbs like rosemary and thyme can also give your board some holiday-inspired pizazz.

Assemble Your Board

Now that you’ve picked out your favorite ingredients, it’s time to bring your board to life. Once you assemble your custom charcuterie board, it’ll be ready for your guests to enjoy all night long.

Search online for some inspiration on how to arrange your board. No matter what you come up with, your personalized charcuterie board is guaranteed to make a statement at your holiday party and will be cherished by your guests for years to come.
