HOW TO CRAFT A BEAUTIFUL SALAMI ROSE AND VALENTINE’S DAY CHARCUTERIE BOARD

Crafting a salami rose is a delightful and imaginative addition to any charcuterie board, especially for Valentine's Day. Here's a straightforward guide to help you create one:

Ingredients you will need:

• Thinly sliced salami
• One or two Boos Block cutting boards
• A wine glass

To begin, choose the Boos Block cutting boards you will use to assemble your charcuterie masterpiece. We recommend the Boos Block Black Walnut Round Cutting Board With Feet (Model WAL-B12R) for showcasing the stunning salami rose. This 12" diameter board with a rich walnut hue and bun feet exudes a romantic and sensual vibe. Alternatively, you can opt for the same board in hard rock maple (model B12R). For a smaller option, consider the Boos Block Black Walnut Square Cutting Board With Feet (model WAL-B9S), perfect for arranging sweet treats for your Valentine.

Now, let's create the salami rose using a wine glass as a mold:

1. Gently drape a slice of salami over the rim of the wine glass, shaping it so that half is inside and half is outside.
2. Add another slice slightly to the right of the first one, overlapping it.
3. Continue adding slices to the right, wrapping around the entire rim of the glass to form rose petals.
4. Add additional layers as desired, making sure not to make it too thick.
5. Carefully flip the wine glass upside down on the cutting board, sliding it off and shaping the salami slices into a rose-like appearance.

Depending on your preference, you can create multiple roses of varying sizes using different salami slice sizes and wine glasses. Arrange the salami roses as the centerpiece on your charcuterie board, surrounded by meats, cheeses, fruits, and accompaniments. To enhance the display, use a second Boos Block cutting board to showcase sweet and tangy Valentine's Day treats like yogurt-covered raisins, dried strawberries, chocolate wafers, and more. Complete the romantic setting with fragrant flowers.

Crafting salami roses is a fun and elegant way to elevate your charcuterie board and celebrate Valentine's Day with your special someone.
