# What You'll Need:

→ Red Meats

01 - 3.5 oz prosciutto
02 - 3.5 oz bresaola
03 - 3.5 oz thinly sliced spicy chorizo
04 - 2.8 oz smoked beef salami

06 - 5.3 oz cubed Red Wine Cheddar
07 - 3.5 oz sliced Merlot BellaVitano

→ Accompaniments

08 - 1 small bunch red grapes, washed
09 - 1 medium pomegranate, seeds removed
10 - 1 small jar red onion jam

→ Garnishes

# How to Make It:

01 - Fold or roll the prosciutto, bresaola, chorizo, and salami. Place them in distinct sections of a large triangular board, grouping similar textures together.
02 - Cut the Drunken Goat, Red Wine Cheddar, and Merlot BellaVitano into bite-sized portions. Fan them out in separate clusters adjacent to the meats.
03 - Scatter red grapes, pomegranate seeds, and dried cranberries around the meats and cheeses. Position roasted red peppers and a small bowl of red onion jam near the cheeses or in board corners.
04 - Neatly arrange sliced baguette and red beet crackers to fill open spaces and provide texture contrast.
05 - Decorate the board with fresh rosemary sprigs and optional edible rose petals for added color and aroma.
06 - Present immediately at room temperature to ensure optimal flavor and texture.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours preparing when really you've just arranged beautiful things that already taste incredible.
  • No cooking required means you can focus on the actual magic—watching people's faces light up as they discover that wine-soaked goat cheese.
  • It's elegant enough for guests but casual enough to throw together on a Friday night without stress.
02 -
  • The arrangement actually matters more than you'd think—when things are thoughtfully placed rather than crowded, people eat more slowly and enjoy more deliberately.
  • Wine-soaked cheeses can separate if they sit too long, so assemble everything within twenty minutes of serving for best texture.
03 -
  • Slice your baguette at a slight angle—it looks intentional and gives more surface area for toppings.
  • If you can only get one wine-soaked cheese, make it the Drunken Goat; it's the showstopper that makes people ask questions and actually interact with the board rather than just eating.
