Charcuterie Board

All Italian!
All delicous!
All pleasing for all guests!

I love putting together Charcuterie boards with a theme.
This one is Italian, as you may guess!

I have chosen a selection of  three meats,
(prosciutto, salami and capocollo)
Three different type cheeses,
soft, mild, dry or sharp,
( gorgonzola dolce, asiago, and parmiggiano-reggiano)
Three different "breads"
(bread sticks, toasted crostini, rosemary flatbread crackers)

and then some condiments...
Marinated olives, rosemary almonds,
fig preserves, and grapes.

If you love Triple Cream Brie or Camembert, and Comte, then
try making a french themed board,
adding pate or rillette.
Slice a baguette, add some ripe apricots or pears and small green olives.

If you love sharp seedy mustard and pickles,
try making a German or Dutch themed board,
adding smoked sausages, or bratwurst,
Gouda, Edam or Limburger or Quark
heavy rye bread or seeded breads and crackers.
Smoked or dried fish, pears or dried cherries.

The ideas are endless!!

As Always, 
ENJOY!
