Creating the Perfect Charcuterie Board

When making the perfect Charcuterie board you want to serve not only flavors, but also textures, smells, and emotion.

Savory: (Lamb Salami) 2 -3 ounces per person should be a good amount. Slice it as thin as possible. It lasts longer and breaks open the spices enhancing the smell and the flavor of the salami. Consider leaving some of the Lamb Salami whole with a cutting knife beside it. The bright colors of our salami pop when served on an artisan wooden board, a marble, or stoneware plate.

Creamy: (Cheese) Sliced a little thicker, so 3 ounces of cheese per person. Consider mixing a soft cheeses like Brie, goat cheese, or fresh ricotta with a firm cheese like Aged Gouda, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or Asiago.

Crunchy: (Crackers) Have at least one cracker (or slice of bread) for every slice of meat! We partner with the Accidental Baker in Hillsborough NC to put artisan flatbread crackers in our charcuterie boxes, but you can slice and toast a baguette or pita.

Sweet: (Jam) The sweet and savory combination is essential to a good charcuterie board. We partner with Garnet Gals out of Andrews NC for the local Jams used in our Charcuterie boxes.

Spicy: (Mustard) The spicy and somewhat creamy combination with mustard seeds to crunch is perhaps the best secret ingredient to an amazing charcuterie board. We have partnered with the Lusty Monk out of Asheville NC to put in our Charcuterie Boxes.

Accompaniments: Chocolates (Sweet and creamy), Nuts (Crunchy), Pickles (Sour), Honey (Sweet and sticky), Fruit (Sweet and fiber), Hummus (Umami) — all increase the variety of flavors, colors, and the taste experience of the board. This is what makes the charcuterie board really fun – this is where you get to experiment with different flavors, textures, and combinations.

We try to make it easy on our customer by providing various charcuterie box options with our lamb salami. Check out our selection.
