Instrucciones
- 1
Pull all refrigerated items — Prosciutto, Genoa Salami, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Provolone, and marinated vegetables — out of the fridge about 20 minutes before assembling. Room-temperature ingredients have better flavor and texture on a platter.
- 2
Drain all jarred and marinated items (Mixed Italian Olives, Giardiniera, Marinated Artichoke Hearts, Red Peppers, Pepperoncini) in a Colander or on paper towels. Slice the baguette into rounds, break the Parmigiano-Reggiano into rustic chunks, and halve any large mozzarella slices if needed.
- 3
Start by placing 3–4 small Mixing Bowl or Ramekins on your board or platter to anchor it — fill these with Mixed Italian Olives, Giardiniera, and any other loose, saucy items. This keeps wet ingredients from spreading.
- 4
Arrange the cheeses next, spacing them out across the board. Place the mozzarella in one area, the Provolone slices fanned out in another, and the Parmigiano-Reggiano chunks near an edge. Variety in shape and placement makes the board visually dynamic.
- 5
Fold or drape the cured meats between the cheeses. For Prosciutto, loosely ruffle or fold each slice into a ribbon. For Genoa Salami and soppressata, fold slices in half or quarters and shingle them in a fan shape. Vary the placement so each meat appears in a different area of the board.
- 6
Tuck in the Marinated Artichoke Hearts, Red Peppers, and Pepperoncini around the meats and cheeses, filling in gaps. Scatter Cherry Tomatoes and Seedless Cucumber rounds across the board for color and freshness.
- 7
Arrange the baguette slices and breadsticks along the edges of the board or in a separate Basket alongside. This keeps them from getting soggy from nearby wet ingredients.
- 8
Drizzle the mozzarella and Marinated Artichoke Hearts with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil. Add a light drizzle of Balsamic Glaze over the mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes. Scatter fresh Basil Leaves across the board, then finish with a pinch of Flaky Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper. Sprinkle dried Italian herbs if using.

Set out cheese knives, small Tongs, and toothpicks for easy serving. Serve immediately at room temperature for best flavor.
