    Charcuterie Board Pairings

    You don’t need to be a professional to create and serve up a delicious charcuterie board, you just have to have the right tools. A great charcuterie board requires a wonderful combination of meats, cheeses, sweet and savory items, and the perfect board to put everything on.

    When it comes to making a good charcuterie board, it’s important to have a variety of flavors and textures. The meats, cheeses and spreads should complement each other as well as be delicious on their own. Here are five pairing combination suggestions that work well together.

    Charcuterie Board Pairings

    Truffles

    The rich, earthy flavor of truffles pair well with the bold flavor of many meats. Try pairing a soft cheese like brie with truffles for a fatty-meets-earthy taste.

    Cured Meats

    Salami, prosciutto and chorizo pair well with sweet jams or honey. A mild cheese like brie and some honey or jam on crackers is a classic combination which will draw out the milder flavors of the cured meats.

    Savory Spreads

    Salty, herby spreads like tapenade work well with salty cheeses like manchego or parmesan. Try serving them with crostini or your favorite crackers for an appetizer that packs a lot of flavor without being too heavy.

    Tart/Sour

    Fruits like apples, pears, and grapes pair well with cheese because they both have a sweet flavor. This combination can work well as an appetizer or dessert. Exotic fruits like figs and papayas can pair well with hard cheeses like Parmesan or Asiago. You can also try this combination with soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert as an appetizer or dessert.

    Sweet and Fruity

    Fruits like strawberries and apples are sweet, tangy, and pair well with many different types of cheeses such as blue, brie, gouda, cheddar, and camembert. Another fruit that pairs well with these types of cheeses is apricots.

    Add the brie cheese wheel to the center left of the board. Cut a star shape out of the peppered jelly using the star cookie cutter and place on top of the brie cheese wheel.

    Add the grapes and blackberries along side of the brie cheese wheel.

    Place a small bowl of spinach dip towards the bottom right of the board and add a mini spoon to serve. Cut star shapes out of the pumpernickel bread and place around the spinach dip bowl.
