Valentine's Charcuterie Board
Report
Instead of dining out, celebrate your bond by building a Valentine’s Charcuterie Board together. With heartfelt accents, plenty of meat and cheese for you to share, and chocolate-covered strawberries for good measure, this holiday charcuterie board is an easy yet elegant way to commemorate your love.

Ingredients
The meats:
- 2 ounces prosciutto or serrano ham
- 2 ounces Capicola or bresaola
- 2 ounces Soppressata or genoa salami
The cheese:
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese
- 4 (5 ounce) log chevre or a small wheel of brie
- 4 ounces gouda or Fontina
The spreads:
- fresh honeycomb
- fig jam
The fillers :
- red grapes
- berries or cherries
- Marcona almonds or other nuts
- crackers
- Chocolate Covered Strawberries
- Valentine's candy
The garnishes:
- fresh flowers such as red roses
- fresh herbs
Instructions
- Select a board or space on your counter or table that can act as your foundation. Arrange your meats in slices, rolls, or roses and arrange them near the border.
- Add a cheese next to each meat to continue to fill in the edges of the board. Add bowls of jams or other spreads to fill in the large holes.
- Fill any any remaining gaps with fruit, nuts, crackers, Valentine candy, or chocolate-covered strawberries. Layer and overlap when needed; step back to view the board from afar to spot any slim spots.
- Finish by tucking flowers or fresh herbs into any of those less-abundant spots, then add forks, cheese knives, spreaders, tongs, and other utensils where needed.
Notes
- Yield: I recommend planning on 1 to 2 ounces each of meat and cheese per person as a snack, or about 4 ounces of meat and cheese per person if this Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Board is acting as your dinner. But, I always buy enough to fill my board so it looks abundant.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
