Butter Boards are a delicious and creative addition to your collection of charcuterie boards.

The butter can be flavored with herbs, spices, fruits, nuts or other ingredients to provide a great range of unique flavors.

How to make a butter board?

Start  with a selection of different types of butter, including regular butter, salted and unsalted butter, and plant-based alternatives such as avocado or almond butter. Make sure the butter is served at room temperature so it spreads more easily on bread or crackers.

 

For a more subtle twist, add herbs such as rosemary, thyme or basil, spices such as paprika or cumin, grated cheese, roasted garlic cloves or fresh citrus zest. The possibilities are almost endless.

 

Offer a selection of bread and crackers, from baguettes to whole wheat bread, as well as a range of garnishes and accompaniments such as fresh fruit like grapes or apple slices, nuts like walnuts or pecans. These serve as the perfect accompaniment to the butter.

 

Presentation is key. Arrange the butter varieties on an olive wood board. Use  small knives or butter sticks so your guests can easily spread the butter on the bread or crackers.

As temperatures drop and leaves change color, we crave warming, hearty flavors and cozy moments with friends and family. A fantastic way to capture this autumnal mood is to create a seasonal charcuterie board.

The color palette for your fall charcuterie board is dominated by warm, earthy tones. Think deep burgundy, sunny orange and soft brown. These colors reflect the rich range of autumnal tones you can capture on your board with the right ingredients.

 

Start with the newly harvested ingredients. Fall is a is a period of abundance, where trees and vines showcase their ripe fruits. Apples, pears, grapes, pumpkins, figs and dates are just a few of the seasonal stars you can place on your board. Slice them or serve them in halves to show off their splendor.

 

An essential part of your fall charcuterie board is savory flavors. Add different types of smoked sausage, ham, or bacon that pair perfectly with cheeses like Brie or Camembert. These hearty components will bring a warm and cozy touch to your culinary display.

 

Adding nuts and dried fruits like walnuts, pecans and dried cranberries adds texture and festive flair to your board. The crunchy texture of the nuts and the sweet note of the dried fruits perfectly complement the savory and fruity flavors.
