Cut or shape the mozzarella, cheddar, and provolone into small flower-like pieces, then place them between the meat roses.

Arrange the cheese pieces in small clusters, alternating shapes and colors to create a balanced floral pattern.

Place the breadsticks together in the center of the board, keeping them neatly aligned and slightly overlapping.
- 06
Tuck fresh basil leaves around the meat and cheese flowers, filling the empty spaces and adding a fresh decorative touch.

Serve the charcuterie board immediately while the meats and cheeses are fresh.
Chef notes
- Arrange the meat roses first to create the main floral pattern. - Fold thin slices of meat loosely for a natural, elegant look. - Use different cheeses to create varied flower shapes and colors. - Place breadsticks in the center for height and visual contrast. - Add fresh basil leaves between the flowers for a vibrant finishing touch. - Assemble the board just before serving for the freshest presentation. - Serve with crackers, fresh fruit, olives, or your favorite dips.
