  • Where every item goes on the board, step by step, and why
  • The full 5-step timeline, from fridge to table

Why it works

Every skewer is a complete four-part bite (meat, cheese, vegetable and herb), so the pairing is done for your guests. The board uses three: caprese with prosciutto, salami with provolone, olive and pepper, and Parmesan with soppressata and artichoke.

Standing the skewers up adds height a flat board can't, and the whole thing works without plates or knives. Extra olives, focaccia and a dish of herbed olive oil fill the rest.
