Valentines Day is right around the corner!
Love Day is just a few short days away and that means that no matter what our relationship status is, we get to indulge in all the sweet & savoury treats that we love!
Valentines Day is a day to CELEBRATE LOVE for what it means to you! Whether that be with your significant other, a group of your best gal pals, or close friends and family 🙂
One of my favourite ways to spread the love is through food! A charcuterie board is a great way to do that over the holidays because it is an interactive experience with a mix of ingredients that you love!
What Makes the Perfect Charcuterie Board?
You can’t go wrong with a good grazing board! Whether its a Cheese Board, Charcuterie Board or Dessert Board… I’m into it!
The amazing thing about building your own grazing board is that there is really no right or wrong way to do it! All you have to do it put a combination of your favourite ingredients onto the board or platter of our choice. I love that it doesn’t have to be complicated, it just has to reflect you and everything that you love!
Personally, I think the key to creating the perfect charcuterie board is to have a good variety of ingredients so it is interesting and delicious! I generally like to include a few different types of cheeses, at least one type of meat, a few varieties of crackers, a spread or dip and then something fresh to lighten everything up like fruit or veggies.
The Perfect Mix of Sweet & Savoury
Sometimes it can be hard to pick between sweet and savoury, so why not just do both!?
I always like to make sure that there is something for everyone to enjoy when I am creating a charcuterie board. Mixing sweet and savoury ingredients is a great way to do that and also helps to keep things unique and interesting!
I chose to use a Bellavitano Espresso Cheese because for one, it is absolutely DELICIOUS and two, it pairs so well with both sweet and savoury flavours. Make sure to check it out next time you are browsing the cheese section at the grocery store, I highly recommend it!
I also love incorporating sweeter ingredients like fresh fruit because it helps to lighten everything up and cut some of the heaviness you get from the rich cheeses and salty meats. Perfectly balanced and so tasty!
It also wouldn’t be a Valentines Day Charcuterie board without chocolate so I absolutely wanted to incorporate that because it would be rude not to!
