Notes

Expert charcuterie tips

Layer flavors and textures: When arranging a charcuterie board, it's best to place soft foods next to crunchy foods, savory foods next to sweet foods, and mix/match different shapes and colors. This not only gives the board depth, but it's an easy way to make it look professional.
Use seasonal foods and garnishes: I love to use candy corn, candy pumpkins, or other halloween candy when arranging this board. It's such a fun way to bring in some holiday cheer. You can also use orange napkins, plastic pumpkins, or other halloween decor throughout the board.

Can I prepare this board in advance?

Yes, you can prepare most ingredients in advance, but assemble the board closer to serving time to preserve freshness. Cover the prepped ingredients or store in an airtight container and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. 

What's the best way to store leftover charcuterie?

Leftover meats, cheeses, and fruits can be stored in an airtight container or ziplock baggie in the fridge. Consume leftovers 2-3 days after for the freshest taste.
