Charcuterie Board - Italian Style
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Adding a charcuterie board to your next dinner party is a great way to impress your friends and also serves as a great appetizer while you finish dinner in the kitchen! Join Eric from Simply Elegant Home Cooking as he demonstrates an Italian variation of a charcuterie board.
There are no hard rules for this, although Eric recommends using at least 2-3 different types of cured meats with different flavors, along with several different styles of cheese. It is also important to have a few spreadable items. These can include soft cheeses or items such as pesto or fruit preserves. To balance out the sharp and salty flavors of the meats and cheeses, be sure to have a sweet item or two. Fresh fruit is a good option for this. Also, be sure to serve your charcuterie board with some crackers and/or bread which can be charred if you prefer.
The recipe for the pistachio pesto featured in this video can be found here:

Thanks so much, what I like most about making a charcuterie board is you can customize it however you like!
Great video, and great explanation. I'm off to look for your pistachio pesto, that sounds very good. Never tasted it before.

Very nice-I’m wondering how to create another version without using meats?

You can add more cheeses, fruits, spreads, cut up veggies, nuts, ect.
We kinda got this same thing with boards such as this or we usually arrange them in a plate here in Romania. We call them a platou (which actually means the same as plateau in English when we use it for describing geography) and we put a whole bunch of things in it. Salam de sibiu is something we use traditionally here, it's a local product, same as you used and the Italians prosciutto we use salam de sibiu and a salty cheese called telemea which is similar to feta cheese but a bit more hydrated and generally olives and tomatoes when doing them in the summer. Yours looks great i would definitely try out the combos presented. I really enjoyed the video! Have a nice one!

Oh yes, the Eastern European meats and cheeses are great too! You could totally use some of the principles laid out here to make a Romanian themed board!
Is that a wegmans cutting board?
