Add a dash of culinary flair to your holiday spread with a charcuterie board. Whether it’s simple or extravagant, all the items you need to design your own are available in the Deli Department at your local Strack & Van Til food store.

“Try unique flavor pairings with salamis, thinly sliced prosciuttos and cheeses cut in geometric shapes for eye-catching appeal,” says Deli Department Director Kristin Snow. “Add fresh fruits, berries or dried fruits, honeys, fruit preserves, cheese spreads, olives, bruschetta, specialty crackers, breads, crispy cheese crisps and nuts, and complement your charcuterie board with festive wines.”

Cheese choices include rich and nutty traditional-aged cheddars in varying sharpness, buttery-textured Manchego cheeses, made from sheep’s milk, and creamy options like Gouda, Havarti, Brie and goat cheeses. Gouda and Havarti have a slightly acidic flavor and pair perfectly with grapes, almonds and Riesling wine. Havarti flavors include dill, horseradish and Jalapeño. President’s Brie has an earthy mushroom flavor, and goat cheeses are available in blueberry vanilla, honey and garlic herb.
