Charcuterie began in France in the 15th century. It was made so that meat would last longer and not go to waste. Even the ancient Romans preserved meat, but the French are generally thought to be the ones who made charcuterie popular. The meat is mixed with salt and spices, then left to dry. Some popular options are salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, and pancetta.

Choose the Right Dish.

How you build your meat and cheese board will depend on how many people you are serving. Make sure your platter is big enough to hold all of your food. Cutting boards made of wood or white plates are both good choices. For serving, you'll also need small bowls, knives, and spoons.

Pick the Cheese.

Experts in cooking say that you should choose at least three cheeses for your platter. There should be a mix of soft and hard cheeses with different tastes. The custom charcuterie box from Cheese Brothers has smoked Gouda and an aged cheddar that has been aged for eight years.

Pile on the Meats.

Make sure to cut your charcuterie into pieces that are easy for people to snack on. Spread the meat out and put it in different spots on the board so it's easy to get to. Cheese Brothers worked with La Quercia to make an Americano salami that is dry and only slightly spicy to go with its famous cheeses. Herb and Kathy Eckhouse started La Quercia. They started by making high-quality American prosciutto, then used what they learned to make other cuts of pork.

Fill up the Space.

For taste, every cheese platter needs some fruit, nuts, or olives. Bushel & Peck's of Beloit, Wisconsin, makes a jar of cherry lavender jam that is part of Cheese Brothers. We also sell mustard and crackers made by hand.

Add Some Greenery.

Add some fresh herbs, arugula, or fig leaves to your meat platter to make it stand out. Adding greenery breaks up and adds depth to your platter. For more information about Charcuterie board gifts for sale just visit our website.
