Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    Choose a large wooden charcuterie board or platter. To help organize the spreads and give a polished look, place a small circle of parchment paper in the center of the board.

      Arrange the Meats:

        Segment the prosciutto, salami, and chorizo into distinct areas on the board. For an appealing presentation, roll or fold the meats into shapes. Form them into a circular or fanned arrangement that encourages casual grazing.

          Add the Cheeses:

            Position the cheeses around the arranged meats. Provide small cheese knives for the softer cheeses like Brie and Goat cheese. Slice the aged cheddar into small triangles, fanning them out to allow for easy access.

              Incorporate Fresh and Dried Fruits:

                Fill any gaps on the board with a vibrant arrangement of fresh strawberries, blue grapes, and dried apricots. Place these in a manner that creates visual interest and balance through contrasting colors.

                  Nuts & Crackers Time:

                    Scatter Marcona almonds and walnuts in various sections across the board. Surround the edges with an assortment of crackers and slices of baguette for convenient snacking.

                      Add Spreads:

                        Use small ramekins to elegantly serve honey and whole grain mustard. Position these on the board, inviting guests to enjoy dipping and spreading their favorite flavors.

                          Garnish:

                            Complete your board with fresh herbs to add a pop of green, and if desired, sprinkle some edible flowers on top for an extra touch of elegance. You can also drizzle a bit of honey over the goat cheese for a sweet accent.

                              Final Touches:

                                Step back to admire your stunning charcuterie board! Make sure all components are easily accessible and encourage your guests to dive in and enjoy.
