Cheese Board Basics | Folding Charcuterie 

Great job Sam. You area wonderful teacher. Thanks for the great tips.

This is the first video where I got(understood) how to do the salami chain! U go girl!!!

I could honestly watch this all day. You're a great teacher. I'm so excited to try all these methods of folding. Thank you ❣️

I'm gifting boards to a wedding and your videos are super helpful. I ain't a pro but with these tips I may look like one

Thank you for this video! I especially like the top-down view, it’s really helpful to see what’s going on 🙏🏻

I came across you because I wanted to do a charcuterie board I saw some great videos you did n I loved them Thank you so much n keep doing what your doing Good luck with your business 👍

I have followed this and made beautiful Charcuterie boards twice already this holiday season :-)

I can only think that this should be called meat-igami (origami with meat). Love the ideas!

Thank you for your nice presentation. I am just learning how to present a board. I appreciate your pointers. I am learning alot from you. I like that you said don’t just take it out of the package and slap it on the board. And also shaping it at room temperature.

I love your techniques for folding! I have a 24" board to fill for a reception I'm having for my newly married son and daughter in love - thank you!!

I love ALL of your presentations! I'm always interested in more Christmas and holiday boards. Thanks for your creativity 🥳

I loved your video on ways to fold and display meats.

Looks fantastic👍🏻

This is exactly what I was hoping to find. Thanks for the excellent tutorial!

This was perfect! Just what I needed. Thank you!

Sam, thanks sooooo much. I recently started making boards but needed ideas for folding meats. Can't wait to try it.

Your videos are very helpful,thank you for sharing

This is so great! Love the variety of meats and folds.

Great video and tutorial, much appreciated, I am learning a great deal

Genius! I always struggle with cold cuts. Trying to make it easy for people to serve themselves without putting their fingers all over someone else's meat. Great video!

Thank you for this. New subscriber! Im so excited to create more cheese boards.

I loved this! Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed this! Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you 🙏. I’ve learned a lot today I work for hotel and we do cheese boards this is very useful info much appreciated

Thank you so much! Great video!

Thank you sooo much for these simple tips. I usually do dessert charcuterie boards but some ask for a cheese, meats & cracker board with some sweets so kinda out of my comfort zone. This will help tremendously. Thank you, thank you, thank you

Thank you for sharing your talents!

VERY helpful! Thank you.❤️

Your emerald ring is GORGEOUS!!!! ❤️

Loved this. You explained it so well. Thank you

Thank you for the great advice ❤

You are SO GOOD! Thank you!😍

Hi Sam, I made my first charcuterie board two days ago and I have to say, humbly, it was beautiful. I made Genoa roses and I can’t wait to try your smaller roses. I did make a chain but I like your way of doing it much better. Also, the little bouquets were amazing and I can’t wait to try those. I bought some prosciutto from Costco and it was so thin that it was almost impossible to work with. I like the way that you say that your board is your own art. I agree. I’ve seen so many different ways of doing a charcuterie board and everyone I’ve seen really are a work of art in their own right. Thank you for a great video and can’t wait to see many more!

You are amazing!! Thank you.

Hi Sam! This video came up on my feed and I'm so glad I watched it! I think I'm going to make a Charcuterie board to take to my daughter's for Christmas, and it will be my first one. I love the ideas of folding the meats and making them pretty. I subscribed and rang the bell. Now on to watching more of your videos! Thank you so much for sharing!

Omg such a life saver with this video !!! I work as a line cook at Italian restaurant and I’ve become bored of making the same style every time

You're hired!! Publix supper markets has all that gourmet stuff in lakeland, Florida!!

Love this video! Thanks!

Thank you for the helpful hints

Great job. Easy to follow. Thanks

Thanks for the video, super helpful, I have to make 100 charcuterie boxes this weekend! Subscribed!!❤

Love this Sam! How about slicing techniques for different types of cheese?

Love this thank you! Super helpful!

This may be a weird question but I have to ask: How do you tactfully remove 1 piece of salami from a salami rose when taking food from a charcuterie board?

Love your videos!

Hey thanks for this! It was a pretty complete quick training for just meat displays! I really enjoyed it. I'd love to see ham (black forrest) or turkey as it naturally isn't as pretty in displays but easily accessible. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing!

Hello, I just now found your channel. I found your demonstration on folding your meat extremely helpful. Do you have a video for the next step on determining what size board to use and how to plan your layout? Also what are the list of items that you put on a board? If you have your meats room temperature to make them easier to fold and to pinch, but once your board is completed if you put it in the refrigerator will the meats come apart? What is the next video that you have that I should watch to learn step two? Thank you.❤️

Thanks a lot, hugs from Lima, Perú 🇵🇪❤❤

What meticulousness and skill!

Just in time for the holiday

Thanks for showing... I'm new subscriber... I gana make a board for Christmas day and evening... Good technique 👌😋 Happy Holidays... From New Mexico ✨

Love your videos, I watch them all the time :)

Thank u so much!!! 💖💖

Thank you, this was so helpful! I'm just learning how to do this. It would be great if next you put a whole board together so we get a good idea of placement of the ingredients!

Great tips 🥰

Hello Beautiful from Chicago This is great ideas Thanks I will be using this

Thank you so much!

This is the first time I've run across your videos and I love them! First and foremost, I appreciate that you mention hand hygiene. Learning the different methods of styling meats was very helpful. I've just started creating boards and your video was timely. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Love your videos! Would love to see a 4th of July board please!

If fresh figs aren’t available they make “fig-its” and they are beautiful on my boards. Love ❤️ your videos

oh i love this.. thanks for the tips

Da best!!!!!! Thank you!

How do you make cheese look like a braid? Or other cheese styling? And what are your go-to board fillers? How do you style jam or mustard accompaniments?

What a great channel.

I love all the instructional advice you give on your channel. How about advice on using pomegranates? They are so pretty.

Great video thank you

Thank you for your videos! I’m going to be catering a 120 person wedding. They will be getting a grazing table (appetizer before the bbq dinner). This will be my first grading table, unless I get another job sooner that requests it. Do you have any helpful tips? Also do you happen to know how long deli meats can stay at room temperature for? I’m nervous about making anyone sick.

how soon do you take the meats out before folding/rolling the meats? Do they stay together after being put back in the refrigerator?

Thank you! Very creative. Can I fold the meats the day before serving ? Suggestions of which meats go with which cheese?

Fantastic video ❤thank you! Do u have one on cutting fruit and veggies fancy ?

love trying new cheese 🧀, my daughters favorite thing is charcuterie boards , having one for new year’s eve of course, I really don’t like goats cheese but i think there’s at least one i can deal with . my daughter loves a very strong cheese with fig jam , what is the best cheese to accompany the sweet jam?

Antipasta-means "before the meal" In english!! 😊

Love your videos. Will be making board for birthday party. I cannot find anywhere online, amount of oz of other stuff ( not cheese and meat) but everything else. Will you please tell me how many oz ( or any measurements) I need per person? This will be their meal. Weird how no one tells this. It will be 22 people there, mostly adults ( big men lol) You are only one I found that even shows individual servings ( your box placed in 2 plates) love it ❣

how do you recommend doing a blu cheese? As a whole wedge or partly crumbled? Also do you leave all your cheeses in the block or slice or both>

Can you give tips for a grazing table for appetizer at a wedding. Also, can you put trays in frig of extra to restock table, will the folds stay? Thank you for your videos, very helpful.

Enjoy watching your videos. I am going do my first board and add salami roses. Are they just for decoration, and if not, should I supply a serving fork next to them.

Love this … Do you need to put down parchment paper on top of the wood? How do you clean the board ? Ty

I loved this tutorial. Question: Do you set all your meats at room temperature for better folding?

What about little things you can do to pull a board together like I feel as if I'm going to have gaps or no color

Learned so much from this. What do you use as a board when you are using a lot of food like for 30 people or so.I’ve seen some pictures where it looks like butcher paper?

Tips for arranging board would be good

I'm about to try my first board for a friend. I just have to decide what boards are used or what I can use, nothing to big. And is prosciutto one that has to be used? Or do you have a way to use some deli meats?

What’s the best way to store these if you do them the night before?

How do guests get the pieces of salami out of the rose? Middle first? Outside layer first? Thanks for the tutorial. Making my first board. 😁

New to this word charcuterie lol. Came here to learn more by chance and it’s very neat and helpful even if I don’t entertain..I may do so near future. Can you tell me what “folding “ means. Again this is new to me. Thx

Great video 😍🧀 What do you use to wrap your boards with when sending orders to customers?

Will these hold their shape if you put in the fridge after folding?

Do you serve the ‘rose’ in the container or do you put in fridge till it holds shape? Love your videos!

Sorry, just a newbie question. Do I need to cook it first? If yes, how? I mean do i need to fry it or just steam it?

Hello and thank you for the video. My biggest question when I see the roses is, since (when using a cup) or rolling, how is one supposed to know how to select a slice? Do they take the entire rose or destroy it by only grabbing a slice or two? LOL

Thank you. Was looking for a video about specifically folding meats fancy. Building one for my wife for her birthday. All i could find at the store was the wood for the board. Where do you get the meat? The 7 eleven by my house doesn’t have those packs but they have the meat on sandwiches? Do you just buy the sandwiches and take the meat and cheese off of them if you’re 7/11 doesn’t have the packs of meat? That loaf of meat looked really nice. You must live near a fancy 7/11 like in New York City.

Hi! What type of prosciutto is best for a board?

the meat needs to be at room temperature, can I make them and then put them in the fridge, or will they fall apart. Trying to get prep done the day before.

Do people pick up a whole rose to eat, or peel off petals?

Can I make these the day before and will they keep their shape?

Hi so when people are helping themselves so do they take a hole salami rose or when taking the other meat will it stay connected and they’re gonna have a hard time getting the amount they need? When having a party for 20 people how do you plan the amount you need on a charcuterie?

Ok. Now I'm hungry.

Wow! That looks so appetizing 😊 Do you recommend wine or beer to pair with this?

I've seen some charcuterie boards with apple roses. I just can't seem to get it right. Can you show us an easy way? The apple slices usually break on me.
