Cheese Slicing and Styling | Board Basics 

Also, could we maybe see some ideas to make a board look Christmas-y? Thank you! 🎄

I love that! I am so glad that it helped inspire you. I can so that! Rosemary and sugared cranberries are a super simple and affordable way to make boards more festive.

Thank you!! I am glad you found it helpful

Glad you like them! Thank you so much!

@@figbleucharcuterie9916 omg you have no idea. i have made picnics for my love and when we were simply picnicking people asked me so many questions about where i got my basket, or how i arrange them etc. and telling me i should offer them as a business. i'm not into social media like that, but i love making people happy! you showed me some new ways to fold meat i'm so shy about everything i make that people say i can profit off of. i need to learn how to turn my passion into profit. i'm just so shy. but i LOVE your channel. thank you so much.

You got it!! One of my favorite things to talk about!

Awe! Best of luck to you. I am sure it will turn out great! I recommend searching for a LEGAL charcuterie business next time you don't want to make your own.

So glad you were able to find it! Thanks for watching.

I'm so glad!

Glad it was helpful!

haha yes! Thank you!

Oh yes!

You got it!

I believe it's available year round, so I hope your trader joes has it!

Noted! But since making this video I've learned its pronounced Kaam-Tee .

@@figbleucharcuterie9916it’s not pronounced that way either 😂

@@jennyj4111 please enlighten us then!

And the correct pronunciation of Gouda, named after the Dutch city, is ‘rhow-dah.’ [basically ‘how-dah’ with a slight throat-clearing sound to the ‘h’ at the beginning]

I’ll have to check that out! Thank you

Hope you like it!

I do have a couple!

Sounds good!

Either works great! you just don't have to sharpen ceramic. But IMO they don't last as long.

Hi! It's actually from Target. I beieve it was in the 1$ 3$ 5$ section

Great suggestion! I can do a more in depth video. But any wax coated rind is NOT edible. Most wax rinds include Manchego, and Gouda.

I would recommend a seeded cracker and top it with a nut like a pecan or walnut.

Hi Stacy! how fun! I have only done a set of numbers one time, but I would suggest crumbling it up in larger chunks if possible. I think if you fine a creamy-er blue (not too creamy like cambozola ) you'll have a better chance of being able to keep it in larger chunks! You'll do great! tag me on social media so I can see it!

@@figbleucharcuterie9916 Hi Sam! Would love to see a pic of your charcuterie number board! Thanks for the blue cheese suggestion. I bought a buttermilk blue cheese and will see how crumbly it is once I open it. Your site is so helpful and you do beautiful work! I’ll be using a lot of your meat folding and cutting cheese techniques today. Many thanks!

@@stacydietzler9321 Check out my instagram! the Picture I am referring to is from 2021

@@figbleucharcuterie9916 Beautiful! All of your posts!

That’s a good idea! Now since making this video I always separate with a wire cutter. So much easier

I should make a video about my business. There is a lot that goes with it.

@@figbleucharcuterie9916 yes please make a video about if you can

The kitchen is why we bought this house. You should have seen the kitchen I had before! I had one counter top. and it was SMALL!

@@figbleucharcuterie9916 wow, awesome! And u have the best kitchen! Very beautiful, many blessings! ✝️🥰❤️

Hi Debbie! Good luck, but I am sure you'll do great! I would give yourself a few hours before. Once you are done, stick it in the fridge until you are ready to eat! Prep is key! maybe slice your cheese and wash your fruit before you start assembling.

I usually do 4oz cheese/2oz of meat

I have heard that works as well.

This is a fantastic idea!! I think it would be best to do this in the summer time when there is more of an abundance to show!

@@figbleucharcuterie9916 YAY! I can’t wait to tune in for this one!!

I love everything Brie! lol

typically I will cut the rest into cubes and either save for a different board, or I will serves it elsewhere on the board.

I don't think that I need to make a whole video about it. But I would recommend maybe not partaking in these boards if people don't have individual forks, knives, or tongs for each person. Just purchase bamboo. That way you can get a good amount and not break the bank.

I think it might! Wood is so porous that it'll soak up the juice of the blueberries. To keep your boards looking new, I would always recommend using parchment paper.

@@figbleucharcuterie9916 Thank you. I just bought a ver large walnut board with a resin "river" through the middle so I won't take any chances with the berries and I'll use parchment

totally fine! Just make sure you use an air tight container with a piece of paper towel.

@@figbleucharcuterie9916 Thank you!

What do you mean?

Is it a brick? If so, I would cut slices, and then cut those slices in half from corner to corner. It will make small triangles. Otherwise I recommend mini cookie cutters. So helpful!

Definitely! That sounds amazing

@@figbleucharcuterie9916 thank you 😊

Great question! No! It's a wax rind. This is a good video idea though!

@@figbleucharcuterie9916 Thanks for the reply!

Totally! Not as well, but yes

😂😂😊😂😂😂

Amazon is a good place to buy single knives that are afforable.
