There’s something so festive about a pretty assortment of snacks, whether it’s a pre-dinner appetizer offering, or maybe even a meal unto itself. Enter the Charcuterie Wreath, also called the “charcutewreath,” a seasonal twist on the charcuterie board.
What is a Charcuterie Wreath?
A charcuterie board is presentation of salumis (cured meats) plus cheeses and pairings that feels perfect for the holidays, and are just the right size for smaller groups. Charcuterie wreaths are also often called antipasti wreaths and basically draw on the same ingredients and concept, only in round wreath form. You can choose from your favorite meats, such as salami, prosciutto, speck, ham, sausages, etc. and then add everything and anything you like to eat and that will look festive on the board. Think about cheeses of all kinds, dried fruit, fresh fruit, fresh herbs (rosemary looks particularly nice, echoing the thought of pine branches), honey, jams, nuts, small crackers and so on. Place your components in a circle, reminiscent of the shape of a wreath on a large board. Some ingredients might be presented in little bowls, like capers or olives. You can even tuck in leaves or other foliage if you are sure that they haven’t been sprayed with anything hazardous to consume. If you want to add sweets to your charcuterie wreath, that’s another option as well. Small candies, chocolates, tiny cookies…the list of options goes on and on. Plus, if you are looking for a centerpiece idea for your Christmas dinner table, these do double duty as decor and hors d’oeuvres. Try these edible wreaths out this holiday—we promise you they’ll be the most delicious conversation starter in your house!
