For the Ultimate Charcuterie Board, you have to try this recipe. This is how you assemble a cheese board that everyone will love!

How to make the ultimate charcuterie board (cheese board)

Fromager d'affinois

wheel Smoked Gouda

smoked mozzarella

wheel Edam cheese

block Aged cheddar

Boursin garlic herb cheese spread

block Beacher's flagship ￼cheese

box Beacher's plain cheese curds

Prosciutto (sliced)

Genoa Salami (sliced)

Soppressata (sliced)

Spanish style chorizo (sliced)

Nola salami (sliced)

Peppered salami (sliced)

Fig jam

Plum jam

Honey

Strawberry jam

Pitted Sicilian Olives

Kalamata olives

Artisan Rosemary crackers

French bread (sliced)

Whole wheat crackers

Raincoast crisps (cranberry hazelnut flavor)

cotton candy grapes

grapes

Strawberries

Bartlett Pear

Blueberries

apricots ￼

golden raisins

tart cherries

figs

Almonds (roasted and salted)

Pistachios (roasted and salted)

Pecans (roasted)

You want to start off by slicing up the cheeses and arranging them on a large wooden or marble cheese board. Make sure to scatter them as far apart from each other to make room for all the other ingredients. ￼

Depending on the cheese, some may need to be crumbled like the Beacher&#039;s flagship cheese. Other cheese that is soft and spreadable like the fromager d&#039;affinois or garlic herb spread will need to have a small butter knife wedged into it for serving.

Start with the cheeses

Next, begin slicing and folding your cured meats. You want to start with the biggest pieces such as the prosciutto. It’s super thin so all you need to do is simply let them drop in a ribbon right onto the serving board. ￼

Now fold up the Genoa salami, and soppressata into quarters and fan them out beside each other like a deck of cards. The Spanish chorizo is a bit smaller so all you need to do is fold it in half and lay them out the same way.

For the peppered and Nola salami, use a sharp knife to slice them into thin rounds and lay them out onto your cheeseboard. Always make sure to spread your meats in sections apart from each other. It looks so much prettier that way!

Add the meats

Now you can begin filling your marinated olives, jams, and honey into small bowls or mini glass jars. Try to stay consistent with the type of bowls you use. If you use a bunch of different types, it could look messy.

Add the olives, jams, and honey

Once your condiments are arranged on the board, begin adding the fruit (clusters of grapes, strawberries, sliced pear, and blueberries.

Fresh fruit

Then you can add the crackers and bread. I used Artisan Rosemary crackers, French bread, whole wheat crackers, and cranberry hazelnut Raincoast crisps.

Crackers and bread

The last and final step would be to add the dried fruit and nuts. The reason we add these last is that once you reach the end of a charcuterie board assembly, you’re left with tiny spaces to fill. Small things like pistachios, almonds, pecans, and small dried fruit fit perfectly in all those little pockets.

Before serving, you want to let your charcuterie board ingredients come to room temperature for about 1 hour for optimal flavors.

How to make the ULTIMATE Charcuterie Board

These are the ingredients we used to create this cheese platter. Use this as a general guide for creating your own platter! Add different cheese and seasonal fruit to your platter.

The Perfect Cheese Platter

Humbolt Fog Goat Cheese

Mitica Aged Pecornio Toscano Cheese

St Andre Triple Cream

Clarina Aged Gouda

Parmesan

Marinated Olives

Marcona Almonds

Pistachios

Candied Walnuts

Napoli Salami

Prosciutto

You want to use a variety of cheeses on your platter. Variety comes in the form of hard, soft, and semi-soft cheeses. Also aged and new.

Start with a platter or cutting board. Don’t be afraid to choose a larger piece and really make a statement with the arrangement. 

Place all of the cheese around the platter. Space them out, separate soft cheeses, cut larger wedges into two, and place next to each other.

Fill mini bowls with olives, nuts, jam, and honeycomb. 

Place the bowls around the cheeseboard.

 Crackers are a crucial part of the cheese platter. Add them around the platter. 

After the larger items are placed, add the charcuterie to the platter.

Fill in areas with pretty sliced fruit. Fan the fruit out for a pretty look.

Learn how to build a beautiful cheese board with this simple technique. Plan on a few ounces of cheese per person. I'd suggest between 3 to 5 cheese varieties, depending on the size of the crowd.

How to Make a Cheese Board

Soft cheese: Goat cheese, Brie

Semi-hard cheese: Cheddar, Gouda

Hard cheese*: Parmesan, Manchego

Blue cheese: Gorgonzola, Roquefort

Nuts: Almonds, pecans, walnuts

fruit

Honey or jam

Olives, tapenade or pepperoncini peppers

Crackers or crostini

Position your cheese on the board. For best flavor, let the cheese warm to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Use a fork to create large chunks of blue cheese and Parmesan. Slice semi-hard cheese, like cheddar, and fan them across a section of the board. Cut wedges of brie into slices and soft round cheeses into wedges (it&#8217;s totally fine to leave portions of cheese whole).

Place small bowls of tapenade, olives, honey, or jam on the board. Add color by filling large blank areas with sliced fruit, then place your crackers and nuts across the board in clusters.

Place small spoons or serving utensils in bowls, and position cheese knives near the relevant cheeses. Look at your board and fill any bare spots with additional nuts or fruit. You might drizzle some honey over soft cheese. Now, you&#8217;re ready to serve!

Wow!
