Creating your own charcuterie board is a delightful way to showcase a variety of flavors and textures using Hermann Wurst Haus products. Here’s how to craft a visually appealing and delicious spread:

Arrangement: Start by placing small bowls on the board, then layer in blocks of cheese and slices of cured meats. Follow this with an assortment of crackers, and finish off with clusters of nuts, fresh fruits, and olives.

Selecting Meats: Choose a mix of Hermann Wurst Haus Hickory Smoked meats such as Peppered Sweet Bologna, Old Fashioned Summer Sausage, Braunschweiger, German Bologna, Finocchiona Salame, Soppressata Italian Salame, Summer Sausage with Cheese & Jalapeños, and Venison Summer Sausage. Don’t hesitate to add a spicy option to add some excitement to your board. Order Hickory Smoked Meats

Choosing Cheeses: Incorporate a range of both hard and soft cheeses, including brie, parmesan, and Hemme Brothers German Quark, for depth of flavor.

Choosing Crackers: Opt for sturdy crackers that can support toppings without breaking, ensuring a satisfying crunch.

Selecting Fruits: Include a variety of fresh and dried fruits like grapes, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries for a pop of color and sweetness.

Adding Nuts: Fill in the gaps with nuts such as pistachios, almonds, peanuts, walnuts, and cashews, adding both texture and nutrition.

Garnishing: Enhance the presentation with sprigs of fresh herbs like basil, rosemary, thyme, or mint for a fragrant touch.

Incorporating Spreads: Complement the board with sweet and savory spreads such as honey, fruit jams, and cream cheese to elevate the flavors. We have quite an assortment in the store.

Pairing with Wine: We recommend serving wines from Hermann Wine Country!

With these tips, your charcuterie board will not only be a feast for the palate but also a visual delight!
