Charcuterie at Home: Your Ultimate Butcher’s Board

Nothing says effortless entertaining like a well-built charcuterie board. At Moore & Sons, we’ve curated and crafted beautiful cured meats for generations — and we’re here to help you put together the ultimate butcher-approved spread.

 

🧀 Step 1: Choose the Right Meats

Cured Meats to Include:

  • Coppa or Bresaola – Rich, air-dried slices with deep flavour

  • Smoked Ham or Gammon – A sweet-savory staple

  • Salami or Chorizo – Adds texture and a little spice

  • Pâté or Terrine – Smooth contrast to the sliced meats

Butcher’s Tip: Mix textures — soft, chewy, and thin-sliced — for variety.

 

🍞 Step 2: Add Accompaniments

  • Cheeses: Choose 3 — a soft (brie), a hard (cheddar), and a blue (stilton)

  • Pickles: Cornichons, pickled onions, or chutneys

  • Fresh elements: Grapes, figs, apple slices

  • Crunch: Sourdough crackers or seeded flatbreads

  • Spreads: Wholegrain mustard or farmhouse butter

 

🍷 Step 3: Serve & Impress

 

Lay everything out on a wooden board or slate. Fold slices, don’t stack them flat. Keep similar colours apart for visual appeal. Finish with a few rosemary sprigs or edible flowers.

 

Perfect for picnics, family gatherings, or a no-fuss dinner for two — with a glass of wine or ale on the side.
