A successful cheese platter also combines the cheese with different accompaniments with various flavors and textures. It is also common to serve a selection of bread, marmalade, and crackers along with some fruit or nuts. Many people enjoy grapes, figs, and olives with the cheese platter – but you choose the flavors you prefer!

Vegetarian alternatives to the charcuterie board

If you want to serve a vegetarian charcuterie board, it is perfectly fine to replace traditional cold cuts like ham and salami with a selection of plant-based alternatives. Marinated artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted chickpeas, and grilled vegetables pair well with flavorful spreads like hummus or tapenade. In the grocery store, you can often also find vegan or vegetarian ham alternatives if you want to create a charcuterie board with a classic appearance. 

A tip is to use a nice little cheese knife for serving!

If you're in the mood for something non-alcoholic, you can serve a good apple cider or kombucha!
