Gather Round the Salumi Board
December 30, 2025
Salumi boards boast cured pork meat products like prosciutto, coppa, mortadella and soppressata and has evolved into an array of classy looking edible works of art arranged on wooden boards and the term has expanded to include foods beyond cured meat, like cheese, fruit, and vegetables. Salumi boards are the answer for easy entertaining.
Depending on the number of guests, start with a large attractive wooden board or platter. Platters are great for cured meats but for cheeses, go with wood if possible; it makes it easier to cut into different textured cheeses. Arrange food so that it is not one dimensional. Create prosciutto “roses” or thin cylinders; make salami triangles and cubes of mortadella.
Add mild to assertive tasting cheese and marinated vegetables, some olives and marmalades.
