    There's something for everyone on this Sweet and Salty Charcuterie Board. My girls and I devoured it minutes after it was made. It is so good, so celebratory and such a fun appetizer to share with others!

    WHAT IS CHARCUTERIE?

    Charcuterie, pronounced "shahr-ku-tuh-ree" is a word that is used to describe cured cold meats. Curing meats for preservation is a process that was used by humans before refrigeration was invented.

    Examples of charcuterie meats include salami, prosciutto, mortadella and pepperoni.

    WHY MAKE A CHARCUTERIE BOARD?

    There are many reason s why you should make a Charcuterie Board:

    - It is pretty. Charcuterie boards are pretty to look at and inviting. After all, we eat first with our eyes.

    - It is easy to put together. You do not need to cook anything for a Chacuterie board. You simply assemble different components together.

    - It is versatile. You can go different directions with a charcuterie board. You can make it sweet and salty, mostly cheese and meats or you can build it to suit seasons or holidays. So versatile!

    WHY MAKE A SWEET AND SALTY CHARCUTERIE BOARD?

    The holidays are mostly about the sweets! All the baked goods oozing with various flavors. A sweet and salty charcuterie board is perfect for the holidays or for special celebrations.

    You still get the charcuterie meats, cheeses, then you get lots of fruits and sweetness!

    I added some Nonni's Salted Caramel Biscotti and Gingerbread Biscotti to take this charcuterie board to the next level!

    Nonni’s Foods is an artisan Italian-inspired baked goods company that is dedicated to using wholesome ingredients in its cookies, including eggs, butter and sugar.

    The Gingerbread Biscotti flavor really rings in the holidays. I also love how the Biscotti are soft and easy to chew when you dip into your favorite hot drink.

    Nonni's has a wide variety of Biscotti flavors to choose from whether you want to serve the Biscotti on a charcuterie board or you want to dunk them in a cup of hot cocoa.
