I promise you, the appearance of this board will WOW your guests. They’ll think you spent a ton of money and time on the spread – but in actuality, you didn’t.
It’s ok, your secret will be safe with me.
So obviously to create a charcuterie board you need a board. I selected to use a slate board because I love the stone black backdrop! But any type of wood board would work great.
The first ingredient is of course, the cheese! My advice is to have a nice selection. Get a mixture of textures (soft, hard, crumbly), strengths, colors and shapes (for a visual interest).
Popular meats for a charcuterie board are prosciutto, salami, or sausage. For our board I used pepperoni and smoked turkey. For your vegetarian friends, nuts are always popular item to add.
