Build a Balanced Antipasto Board

Ingredients

• Two or three cured meats
• Two cheeses with contrasting textures
• Olives and preserved vegetables
• Marinated mushrooms or artichokes
• Crackers, grissini, or sliced bread
• Fresh or dried fruit
• Small bowls for wet or strongly flavoured items

Method

1. Place bowls and cheeses first to establish the board’s structure.
2. Fold or layer cured meats in easy-to-lift portions.
3. Group olives and vegetables by flavour intensity.
4. Fill open spaces with fruit and dry accompaniments.
5. Replenish in small batches and follow the operation’s temperature-control plan.
