Common Questions About Making a 4th of July Charcuterie Board

What Is A Charcuterie Board?

The term “charcuterie” is French and originally referred to prepared meat products, but nowadays a charcuterie board refers to an assortment of meats, cheeses, artisan breads, olives, fruit, and more. This 4th of July Charcuterie Board adds a patriotic spin with a red, blue, and white color scheme.

Is There A Specific Order in Which to Arrange the Food?

There’s no hard and fast rule. However, a good idea is to start with larger items like cheese slices and salami, then add smaller items and fill in the gaps with blueberries or small candies.

What Else Can I Use Instead of a Charcuterie Board?

If you don’t have a charcuterie board, don’t fret. You can use a large cutting board, a platter, or even a clean and sturdy tray. The goal is to have a flat surface large enough to accommodate your variety of items.

Storage

This is such an easy way to add flavor and variety to any get-together. 

Refrigerator

The assembled charcuterie board can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours prior to serving. Make sure to cover it with plastic wrap to keep the food fresh.

Freezer

As this charcuterie board contains fresh fruits and delicate items, it’s not suitable for freezer storage.
