This step-by-step guide explains how to present a fresh Deluxe snack platter in a festive way. It includes suggestions for serving a luxurious selection of snacks and delicacies in a special and festive way for different occasions.
Selecting ingredients
Carefully choose a variety of cheeses, such as a creamy brie, a tangy blue cheese, and a mild goat cheese. Pair these with an assortment of cured meats, such as prosciutto, salami, and chorizo. Then add color and sweetness with fresh fruit slices, such as grapes, figs, or apple slices. Don’t forget to add a selection of crunchy nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans. And complete your Deluxe snack platter with a variety of crispy crackers or crusty baguettes.
Create a harmonious balance between the different flavours and textures on your drinks board. Combine the creaminess of the cheeses with the salty flavour of the meats and add the sweetness of the fruit for a refreshing contrast. Mix the crunchy nuts through the board for a nice crunch and serve with a choice of crackers or bread to complement everything nicely. With this diverse selection of high-quality cheeses, meats, fruit, nuts and crackers, you can create a luxurious drinks experience for you and your guests.
Layout of the shelf
Start by placing larger items, such as cheeses and meats, in strategic places on the board. Make sure the cheeses and meats are evenly distributed across the board and that there is visual balance. For example, place the different types of cheeses in groups and distribute the meats evenly.
Then fill the spaces with fruit, nuts and crackers for a beautiful presentation. Spread the different types of fruit such as grapes, berries and apple slices across the board. Then you can place the nuts and crackers between the cheeses and meats for a varied and tasteful look of your board.
Adding decoration
Add some fresh herbs to the Deluxe snack board for a tasteful and colorful touch. Think of sprigs of fresh rosemary, parsley or basil. Place these herbs strategically between the cheeses and meats to enhance the presentation and enhance the aromas. This way, your guests will not only enjoy the flavors, but also the visual appeal of the board.
In addition, you can use flowers to give the snack board a festive look. Choose edible flowers such as violets, marigolds or lavender to add a touch of colour and delicate flavour. Place the flowers in strategic places on the board, such as on top of the cheeses or next to the dips. In this way, you turn the snack board Deluxe into a beautiful work of art that not only tastes delicious but is also a feast for the eyes.
