Traditionally, the word “Charcuterie” comes from France meaning meat from a fancy pork butcher. It’s a delicatessen that people with refined taste of meat enjoy. In modern times, charcuterie boards are an aesthetically pleasing collection of different treats that balance each other out in terms of taste and heartiness.

Here at TGM, we always try to make good things better. To help you prepare your holiday treat, we’ve listed down charcuterie board ideas you can incorporate to your new Noche Buena special.

Here’s What You Need

1. A wooden board

Your board can be thick, thin, square, round, or any other shape and size you prefer! However, make sure that it’s large enough to fit all the yummy treats for the whole family.

2. Cold cuts

Get slices of your family’s favorite thinly-sliced sweet meats and cold cuts to arrange on your board.

3. Cheese

Go for different textures and depth by getting a variety of hard and soft cheeses to please any discerning palate.

4. Fruits and nuts

Scatter your preferred dried fruits and nuts or even crackers to add crunch to your board.
