Notes
Charcuterie Tips
The unique and wild arrangement of charcuterie is what makes it beautifully yours. So don’t focus on straight lines and perfectly placed items. Add a curve in your crackers, make a pile of raspberries, shape your charcuterie like a football, fill the tray then let it spill onto the table – the sky is the limit! Fall offers so many opportunities to get creative with the presentation. You can use ghost-shaped cookie cutters to make ghost-shaped cheese slices. You could make little pumpkin cheese balls. You could use fun Halloween-themed bowls or a cutting board shaped like a skull! Have fun with it! With that being said, there are a few tips I’d like to let you in on as you start to build your charcuterie.- Start with the largest items, such as the cheeses or maybe certain bowls that you know you want to use.
- Decide if you want a fun shape, such as a curve in your crackers or a salami rose. Place your shape next and build around it.
- Cover the whole board by using your smaller items as fillers. Do you see a smidge of the board between a bowl and some cheese? Fill it with some nuts, olives, or blueberries!
- Finish with a garnish. Mini daisies, a fresh flower, or fresh herbs.
