Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Blue, Cupola, Gouda or Pleasant Ridge Reserve can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Arrange the goudas, Pleasant Ridge Reserve, Cūpola and blue cheese on a serving board. Place the 'nduja, Piri Picante Salami and pecans into a serving bowl. Add cornichons to another serving bowl; place bowls on board. Fill in board with the crackers, salami, capicola, pork shoulder, prosciutto, Saucisson Sec, grapes and figs.

Recipe Tips

Make it your own! Substitute any of your favorite Wisconsin cheeses into this board.| Piri Picante Salami is a pork sausage flavored with red wine, honey and spices.| 'Nduja is a soft, spreadable Calabrian-style sausage.| Capicola is an Italian pork cold cut with a delicately spiced flavor.| Saucisson Sec is a classic French-style sausage.

Cheesemonger Tip

Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

This charcuterie board could be prepared for a smaller group size, too. Plan for 1 to 1 1/2 ounces of cheese and 2 ounces charcuterie per person; slightly increase amounts if it's the main appetizer.
