Instructions

Cheeses. Arrange them around the board. I pre-slice hard cheeses so they serve easier and cut a few wedges out of the brie to encourage guests to dig in.
Meats. Fold them in a variety of patterns. Watch the video to see how to fold meat for a charcuterie board.
Pickled Items. Anything that requires a dish such as pickles and olives goes down next so you can gauge your space.
Condiments and Spreads. Place condiments next to cheeses they pair well with (i.e. honey next to brie). Keep condiments in separate jars and ramekins to keep the board clean.
Fresh Fruit. Pre-cut grapes and pre-slice apples, rinse, and pat dry berries. Arrange fruit next to cheeses they pair well with.
Nuts and Extras. I like to place pecans or walnuts and pistachios next to brie or soft cheeses. I also like to add chocolate which is delicious with cheese.
Arrange crackers and toasts in remaining spaces or place them on a separate shallow bowl for serving.
