Building the Perfect Charcuterie Board

Creating a charcuterie board that complements FOY is both enjoyable and easy. Here’s everything you need to make a board that’s both visually stunning and deliciously satisfying.

What You’ll Need:

  • Cheeses: Offer a selection of cheeses, such as creamy brie, sharp cheddar, nutty gouda, and tangy goat cheese.
  • Meats: Include an assortment of cured meats like prosciutto, salami, and spicy chorizo.
  • Fruits: Fresh fruits like grapes, figs, apple slices, and berries, as well as dried fruits like apricots and cranberries.
  • Nuts: A variety of nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews.
  • Crackers and Bread: Include an array of artisanal crackers, breadsticks, and sliced baguette.
  • Extras: Add some flair with olives, pickles, honey, jams, and mustards.

How to Arrange Your Charcuterie Board:

  1. Choose Your Board: A wooden or marble board makes a great base for your spread. Select a size that suits your gathering.
  2. Start with the Cheeses: Place your cheese selections on the board first, arranging them in different areas to create balance.
  3. Add the Meats: Fold or roll the meats and place them around the cheeses. This not only looks great but makes it easy for guests to help themselves.
  4. Include the Fruits: Scatter clusters of grapes, slices of apples, and other fruits throughout the board for a fresh and colorful touch.
  5. Sprinkle the Nuts: Add nuts in small piles or bowls to provide a crunchy contrast to the cheeses and meats.
  6. Arrange the Crackers and Bread: Place these in open spaces on the board, ensuring there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy.
  7. Finish with Extras: Use small bowls for olives, pickles, honey, and jams, and arrange them around the board.

Enjoying FOY with Your Charcuterie Board

With your charcuterie board ready, it’s time to pour a glass of FOY and savor the perfect pairing. Here are a few tips for the best experience:

  • Serve Chilled: FOY tastes best when it’s well-chilled, so pop it in the fridge before serving.
  • Sip and Nibble: Take a bite of cheese or meat, then enjoy a sip of FOY to fully appreciate the harmonious flavors.
  • Mix and Match: Try different combinations of meats, cheeses, and fruits to find your favorite pairings with FOY.
