This past year especially, there has been quite the craze about the Charcuterie Board! I was always seeing them on all the different social media platforms. I have always wanted to make one, but I kept putting it off because honestly I was nervous.
If you have never heard of a Charcuterie Board, then you will learn about them now! The main concept is that they are a spread of meats, cheeses, fruits,vegetables,nuts, and snack food. They have so many options of board that you can buy to put them on. I have had my cheese board forever (believe it or not it was actually my brothers first) and I never used it. It would decorate the top of my microwave.
I did some researching on some cute boards that are available on amazon and I am going to link them right below !
I am going to share a list of ideas to place on your Charcuterie Board:
- Cured Meats
- Olives
- Nuts
- Fruit
- Vegetables
- Dried Fruit
- Cheese
- Crackers
- Pita Chips
- Pretzels
- Baguette bread
- Jams/ Jelly
- Dips
- Chocolates
This is just suggestions you can go wild with what you put on there. You will want to obviously cater to whatever your food interests are as well as those around you.
Here is what my board looked like on New Years Eve, when I made one as a surprise for Joe and I to have together.
I hope that you found this post both informational and enjoyable! If you have made a board before, please feel free to comment and share what was on your board! If you end up making a board after reading this please come back and comment your experience! Happy Board making!
