TIPS FOR BUILDING A
BALANCED CHARCUTERIE
BOARD

Heather's Charcuterie Tips
-
When building a board, look for sweet, salty, sour and sometimes bitter items that will round out the palate.
-
Don't be afraid to try new flavor combinations, even if they seem strange. It's worth it to take a chance and find a pairing that is brilliant and outside of the box. One example is Point Reyes Blue Cheese and Primo Honey with Aji Cristal. It sounds odd, but they work lovely together.
-
The best tip is to have fun and embrace your inner artist!
