Italian Cheese Board

One of my good friends had a wine tasting last weekend. I made this board for us to have some snacks during (and after!) the presentation. I really just chose things I knew most of us liked and tried to make them look interesting (and yummy) on the board. I like putting things that have liquid in small bowls to keep them from running into crackers and cheese. I did a “dry run” with a layout before with the cheeses and meats, then finished assembling it at the party.

Here’s the dry run….

The salami flowers (upper right) on the wine glass are pretty easy. Just layer thin sliced salami or pepperoni until you get a full center, then flip it out on the board. I did 2 so we could refill it later in the night. I also just covered it with plastic since I had to take it on the road. You can find videos all over Pinterest, or get with me and I’ll walk you through it.

My pet peeve on these boards when I have them out is that I don’t know what brands/flavors the meats, cheese, jelly etc. are, so I printed out the list and am providing this one here for you. The creativity on this can be endless, think desserts or seafood based, so have fun with it. I sure did!! Enjoy!
