Grocery list for the charcuterie wreath
You can really add on any items you’d like to your charcuterie wreath. I like to add a variety of cheeses, meats and fruits. You want to make sure the cheeses you pick aren’t too soft (or they won’t hold up on the wreath) and not to hard (or else they will crumble when you stick a toothpick inside of them). Here is a grocery list of everything I used so you can easily recreate!
Havarti cheese
Young gouda cheese
Salami
Grapes
Olives
Cherry tomatoes
Fresh rosemary
You will need this foam wreath to make this and these fancy toothpicks or regular toothpicks
I suggest putting all your cheeses in first and then filling in spaces with your meats and accompaniments.
I served mine along side a variety of crackers and a cheese spread. Feel free to served with a sweet or spicy jam too!
