Charcuterie board, how to create at home the boards full of cured meats, cheeses, and other delicious preparations that are the most viral on the web.
The peculiarity of the charcuterie board is to be very scenic: the ingredients are arranged in a way that creates beautiful compositions; in fact, these boards are so beautiful that they can also be used as centerpieces.
For the composition, of course, there is plenty of room for creativity; the arrangement often also depends on the board/tray you have at home.
In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever made two that are the same or even slightly similar: today I present you one of those that gave me the most satisfaction!
At the end of the recipe in the FAQ section, I have suggested some substitutions/additions especially for those who have a vegetarian diet. If you have other questions, leave a comment or use the appropriate contact form.

Start the preparation of the charcuterie board by placing a small plate in the center of the rotating tray to be used as a guide for arranging the ingredients.
Start arranging the ingredients starting with the Parmigiano: place it in a cross pattern at four points.
Continue with the cheese with walnuts: place a couple of slices on the sides of the Parmigiano.
Continue the preparation by adding Felino salami and spianata on the sides of the cheese with walnuts.
At this point, add the pecan nuts and cashews to the board.
At this point, you can remove the plate used as a guide.
