Ingredients

  • Truffle Salami โ€“ Thinly sliced (recommend La Quercia)
  • Brie cheese, sliced into wedges
  • Aged Cheddar cheese, cubed
  • Manchego cheese, thinly sliced
  • Red grapes, washed and separated into small clusters
  • Figs, halved (fresh or dried)
  • Sliced pears or apples (tossed with lemon juice to prevent browning)
  • Marcona almonds, lightly salted
  • Rosemary crackers or artisan bread slices
  • Seeded lavash or flatbread
  • Fig jam or honey
  • Mixed olives (Kalamata and Castelvetrano recommended)
  • Fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs for garnish
  • Optional: Prosciutto or smoked ham
  • Optional: Cherry tomatoes
  • Optional: Pickled vegetables

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients (15-20 minutes): Slice cheeses and arrange truffle salami into thin, overlapping ribbons. Wash and slice fresh figs or pears just before assembling. Toss apple or pear slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Wash grapes and separate into clusters.
  2. Arrange condiments and bowls (5 minutes): Place small bowls for olives, nuts, and fig jam or honey spaced on the board. Tuck in fresh rosemary sprigs around the bowls.
  3. Place the cheeses (10 minutes): Position cheese wedges, cubes, and slices in different sections of the board, leaving gaps for easy serving. Provide cheese knives or spreaders nearby.
  4. Add the truffle salami (5 minutes): Fan out the truffle salami near the cheeses, leaving space for other elements. Avoid stacking too high.
  5. Fill in with fruits and crunchy elements (10 minutes): Fill gaps with grape clusters, fig halves, pear slices, Marcona almonds, and crackers. Use different textures and colors for a dynamic look.
  6. Final touches and garnish (5 minutes): Add sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary. Drizzle honey or fig jam in small dollops or place in ramekins. Adjust arrangement as needed.

Notes

Remove cheeses from the fridge 30 minutes before serving to soften. Use a sharp knife or deli slicer for thin salami slices. Prep fruit close to serving time or toss with lemon juice to prevent browning. Layer larger items first, then fill gaps with smaller elements. Avoid overcrowding the board for a chic look. Prep ingredients the day before and assemble just before serving for freshness.
