Honeycomb Charcuterie Board
Make raw honeycomb the star of your next cheese board. This step-by-step guide shows you how to build a beautiful charcuterie spread with perfectly paired cheeses, cured meats, and fresh fruits.
Ingredients
The Centerpiece
- 1 package Go Honey raw honeycomb (4-5 ounces)
Cheeses (Select 3-4)
- 1 (3.5-ounce) log herb-crusted goat cheese
- 1 block Manchego cheese, cut into triangles
- 1 wedge Humboldt Fog or soft-ripened cheese
- 1 block aged cheddar cheese, cubed
- 1 wheel brie (optional)
Cured Meats (Select 2-3)
- 4 ounces Genoa salami, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces Calabrese salami, sliced
- 3 ounces prosciutto di Parma
Fruits
- 1 package fresh blackberries or raspberries
- 1 apple, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch seedless green grapes
- ½ cup dried apricots
Nuts & Accompaniments
- 1 cup roasted salted pistachios
- 1 cup candied pecans
- 1 cup mixed olives
- Assorted crackers and flatbreads
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Position the Honeycomb
Place the raw honeycomb in the center of your board as the main attraction. This is your focal point—everything else builds around it.
Add Small Bowls
Place 2-3 small bowls or ramekins on the board for olives, nuts, and any dipping accompaniments.
Arrange the Cheeses
Arrange the cheeses around the honeycomb and small dishes. Vary shapes for visual interest: wedges, cubes, and logs. Position softer cheeses (brie, goat cheese) near the honeycomb since guests will spread honeycomb on these.
Add Produce and Crackers
Fan out apple slices, place grapes in small clusters, and add berries in tight groupings. Use a tall glass or jar for flatbread crackers—height creates visual drama.
Arrange the Meats
Fold or fan salami slices and roll prosciutto into loose rosettes. Tuck meats into remaining empty spaces around the board.
Fill the Gaps
Fill gaps with dried fruits, nuts, and additional berries. Fill small bowls with olives and extra nuts.
Final Touches
Finish with fresh herb sprigs if desired. Place cheese knives, a honey dipper, and small forks nearby for serving.
