If you’re inviting guests over, there’s nothing quite like a well-prepared charcuterie platter to keep the party going. Blending the flavors of mouthwatering cheese with decadent deli meat, the perfect platter includes something to satisfy every guest. The go-to grocery experts at Tomah, WI’s, Cranberry Country Market provide helpful advice on how to do it right: 

  • CheeseSelect the Right Cheese: The perfect platter should include a nice variety, so include different types of fresh, soft-ripened, and semi-soft cheeses. Cranberry Country Market offers Colby, mild cheddar, vegetable cheese, and smoked cheeses, so you have everything you need to mix it up.
  • Select the Right Meats: The same way you mix up the cheese selection, your deli meat selection should include a variety to pair with every type. Local country markets offer sweet bologna, pit style ham, and turkey ham, all ideal for pairing with any kind of cheese your guests desire. Variety is key.
  • Select the Ideal Amount: Your charcuterie platter isn’t supposed to make a filling meal on its own, but a savory starter to introduce your guests to the rest of the meal. This is why variety is vital; you want your guests to switch up their snacks rather than sticking to the same old routine. One or two ounces of cheese and meat is recommended, so if you’re having a large party, create multiple platters. This will provide each with a more organized appearance and provide the ideal amount for every guest to take a small sample.

Your local country market offers everything needed to create the perfect charcuterie platter. From decadent cheese of every type to an extensive assortment of deli meat, fresh fruit, and more, Cranberry Country Market is Tomah’s go-to source for all of your flavorful favorites.
