Charcuterie (pronounced shar-COO-tur-ree) & cheese plates A basic board has some key elements: the platter, supporting dishes, cheese, meats, crackers and produce. Begin with selecting your platter, setting the stage for size, which should be considered based on number of guests. Next place your dishes with spreadable items such as hummus, honey, mustard or small items such as olives and nuts. Then place your cheeses and meats. The standard rule is about 2oz of each per guest. A great cheese combination is a hard cheese, a brie and a blue cheese. The crackers or bread can fill in around the edges. Then have fun with placing a variety of produce. You have many options from dried fruit such as apricots, fresh figs, and berries to radishes, bell peppers and tomatoes. There are endless design options, from colors to themes. Simply start with the core basics and explore from there. We would love to see your charcuterie creations – tag us online @delriovineyards |
