Anytime I ever see a charcuterie or cheeseboard on the menu at a restaurant, it’s the first thing I want to order. To me, it outweighs the entrées and dessert in both beauty and taste.

In fact, I recently ate at Giada’s in Vegas and did her chef tasting menu (which was phenomenal by the way) and my favorite course by far was the cheese course. I love the dry meats, the raw honey and of course the big broken chunks of fresh Parmesan.

I believe that when done right, a gluten-free charcuterie and cheese board can leave a lasting impression on your guests. They will be both satisfied with what they’ve just eaten and their taste buds will be enticed by what will be served next.

My first recommendation for building the perfect gluten-free charcuterie and cheeseboard is to begin by selecting three different cheeses. You should then choose three different Italian meats.

Some of my favorites include a really hard parmigiano reggiano, fruity white Stilton, smoked apple walnut cheddar and a Buffalo mozzarella. For meats, I absolutely love sopressata, Italian dry salami, prosciutto di Parma and wagyu beef salame.

Get creative in what you choose though and go with what your taste buds prefer. Note: you can estimate about 2 ounces of each cheese and meat for each guest.

Find a beautiful marble, wood or slate board that you will be using and begin arranging the meats and cheeses in separate areas of the board. Place small knives next to each cheese so that the flavors of each don’t mingle.

Also, remember that cheese is best served at room temperature. So, it’s OK to pull them out of the fridge and place everything before guests arrive.

Once you’ve placed your cheeses and meats, fill the space in between with other delicious items. I love serving triangles of our gluten-free garlic rosemary butter bread. It’s easy to make with Canyon Bakehouse bread and nobody will even know it’s gluten-free.

I also serve gluten-free crackers, assorted marinated olives (or tapenades) and artichoke hearts, raw nuts and fruits. Fresh figs are my favorite and they are so gorgeous! If they aren’t in season just go for a fig spread which is also very pretty and delicious.

Grapes look beautiful as do dried apricots as well. I personally think it’s a bit of a foodie crime to not serve raw local honey on your gluten-free charcuterie and cheeseboard but that’s just me.

So as you can see it’s pretty simple to put together the perfect gluten-free charcuterie and cheese board. Really it’s about presentation so if you are looking to elevate it a bit more, throw on some fresh sprigs of Rosemary had some freshly sliced pears.
