What You Need to Build a Charcuterie Board

A Board or Platter:

The first thing you need is a board or platter to display your charcuterie items. You can choose from different materials, shapes, and sizes depending on your preference and budget. Some of our favorite presentations are on wooden boards that are durable and rustic, stone slabs that are sleek and modern, or ceramic plates that are colorful and versatile. You can also mix and match different boards or platters for a more creative look.

 

Cheeses and Meats:

The main attraction of your charcuterie board is the cheeses and meats. You can choose from a wide range of options at BJ’s Wholesale Club, such as cheddar, brie, gouda, mozzarella, salami, ham, prosciutto, or pepperoni. The key is to choose different types of cheeses and meats based on texture, flavor, and pairing. For example, you can have some hard cheeses like cheddar or gouda, some soft cheeses like brie or mozzarella, some crumbly cheeses like feta or blue cheese, and some spreadable cheeses like cream cheese or goat cheese. You can also have some sliced deli meats like salami or ham, some rolled meats like prosciutto or pepperoni, and some whole meats like sausages or meatballs.

 

Accompaniments:

To complete your charcuterie board, you’ll want some accompaniments that complement the cheeses and meats. You can add some crackers, nuts, fruits, olives, or jams from BJ’s Wholesale Club to balance different tastes and colors on the board. For example, you can have some salty crackers or nuts to go with the sweet fruits or jams; some crunchy fruits or olives to go with the creamy cheeses; some tangy jams or mustards to go with the savory meats.

 

How to Arrange Your Charcuterie Board:

Start with Cheese and Meats:

The first step is to place your cheeses and meats on the board in an attractive way. You can cut some cheeses into slices or cubes and leave others whole; fold or roll some meats and stack others flat; arrange them in groups by type or color; leave some space between them for accompaniments.

 

Fill in with Accompaniments:

The next step is to fill in the gaps on the board with accompaniments. You can group them by color or texture; add variety and contrast to the board; use small bowls or cups to hold dips or sauces; tuck them under or around the cheeses and meats.

 

Add Some Garnishes:

The final step is to add some garnishes that add freshness and flair to the board. You can sprinkle some herbs like rosemary or thyme over the board; add some flowers like lavender or edible flowers for decoration; drizzle some honey over the cheeses for sweetness.
