How to Make a Beautiful Charcuterie Board
With holiday season around the corner, we know the importance of a good charcuterie board! We’re here to help you create the best board for your next charcuterie night! Read along to shop a few of our favorite items and to read some helpful tips.
The first step to making a great charcuterie board is having a good board! We recommend having a few cutting boards or cheese boards that vary in size. For example, a board when hosting just a few people, one for girls’ nights, and one for larger family gatherings. Below are a few options we have available to choose from!
Next.. here are a few additional accessories to have on hand when making your charcuterie board! It's always great to have a cheese knife set. We have knife sets that match our Lynn and Liana boards! We also have new wine glasses that match our Lynn and Liana gold boards and ocean vibes boards. The Cheese Board Deck will help you visualize your next board and aid you in the charcuterie process!

Here’s a tip to follow when you are making your next board! No matter what size or style of charcuterie board you choose, you can always follow the 3-3-3-3 rule! The 3-3-3-3 rule is to have three meats, three cheeses, three starch options, and three accompaniments, such as fruit, nuts, or veggies! See a few of our favorites below.
