Cheese Pairings for a Candy Cane Theme Christmas Charcuterie Board

In addition to sticking to the red and white theme, I wanted the pairing to go well together and the board to have a balance of flavors and textures. I’ve listed the pairings below, and when I assembled the board, those ingredients were placed together.

• Prosciutto, Brie, & Cherries – prosciutto and brie are my favorite pairing, so it always goes on all my boards. Strawberries or Honey Crisp Apples would be a good substitute for the cherries.
• Sharp White Cheddar, Soppressata, Macadamia Nuts – you could use a Gouda or Manchego as well.
• Cherry Tomatoes, Ciliegine, Pepperoni – There are so many possibilities with this pairing. You could slice tomatoes instead of using cherry, and the mozzarella could be sliced as well. I would recommend keeping the size of the cheese and the tomatoes as close as possible. I used a higher-end pepperoni, but salami would be good here too.
• Sweet Pairing – Every board needs a little something sweet! I used yogurt-covered pretzels and fresh raspberries. Alternatives would be white chocolate candy and any red fruit.

Tips for Making a Christmas Charcuterie Board

• For transporting, wrap the board very tightly in plastic wrap.
• Use what you have available as a board. You can use a special charcuterie board, a cutting board, or even a sheet pan.
• Add fresh herbs as accents. It really adds to the presentation.
