A FESTIVE THEMED CHARCUTERIE SHARING IDEA
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, have you ever been tastier? Or should we say, O Christmas Brie? We have carefully embellished a tree of grapes and olives with layers of West Country Cheeses and a whole host of our British charcuterie.

Method
STEP 1
Up pack all of your charcuterie and slice thinly unless already sliced. Cut a star from a nub of salami to adorn the top of your tree.
STEP 2
Choose a large sharing board to build your tree, or, use a large piece of baking parchment in the centre of your table if you don’t have a board big enough.
STEP 3
Arrange all of your delicious nibbles in layers, trying to imitate branches of a Christmas tree, getting narrower towards the top. Add the carrot, sliced, at the base to look like a trunk.
STEP 4
You can make a charcuterie tree, or charcu-tree as large or small as you need depending on the number of people you are entertaining. One of our sharing platters works really well when making a tree for 4 or so people. You can add extra individual packs to make up the requirement of meat you need, or, double up on platters if feeding a large number.
