for you to don your hosting
cap, skip complicated appetizers
and hors d'oeuvres to instead
serve sustainable charcuterie with
sommelier-approved wine pairings.
After all, simplicity can still equal
premium flavor with the right meats,
cheeses and libations.
It doesn't take a hosting expert or
pairing professional to create a spread
that's as memorable as it is delicious.
Charcuterie boards made with just a
few ingredients can start the festivities
on a high note by wowing loved
ones with your pairing prowess.
Amaze your guests (and even yourself)
by starting with heritage breed
pork in small-batch artisanal production
from Niman Ranch, whose independent
family farmers and ranchers
raise all animals with no antibiotics
or added hormones ever. Their commitment
to humane practices and
sustainability leads to the exceptional
flavor and tenderness your crowd
craves and can taste in every bite.
Match the selection of meats - like
prosciutto, genoa salame or capocollo
in these recipes - with complementary
cheeses and accents such as
crostini, olives or even thyme-infused
honey for an extra special touch. Finally,
find the perfect bottle of wine
for each board to round out a palate
pleasing spread that suits each
guest's preferred pairing profile.
With flavor, sustainability and a personal
touch, charcuterie can bring
holiday occasions to life for you and
your loved ones. Visit NimanRanch.
com to find more seasonal inspiration
and charcuterie solutions.
Capocollo, Aged Cheddar, Thyme
Honey and Txakoli
Niman Ranch Capocollo
Aged sharp cheddar cheese
Thyme-infused honey
Txakoli wine
Start your cheese board or platter with
savory capocollo laced with pockets of
cured fat that balance out the meat.
Its mild smokiness works well with an
aged sharp cheddar for a salty, intriguing
but complementary match. Serve
with a side of thyme-infused honey for
herbaceous sweetness. Pair with Txakoli,
a dry Spanish wine that's easy to
drink with hints of salt and pinesap.
Genoa Salame, Vintage Grand Ewe and Syrah
Niman Ranch Genoa Salame
Aged, firm sheep's cheese, such as Vintage Grand Ewe
Olives
Syrah wine
On a cheese board or platter, arrange genoa salame, featuring the
rich flavors pulled from the spices and wine used in its making.
Pair with an aged, firm sheep's cheese such as Vintage Grand Ewe,
with notes of toasted almond, maple syrup and cultured butter.
The sweetness of the cheese gives way to the genoa salame to be
the star. Finish the board with skewered olives and serve with an
unfussy red wine low in tannins like Syrah.
Prosciutto,
Sottocenere and Aligote
Niman Ranch Prosciutto
Firm cheese, such as Sottocenere
Toasted crostini
Aligote wine
On a cheese board or platter, arrange
buttery, silky prosciutto with Sottocenere,
a firm cheese speckled with
black truffle, or any firm cheese striped
with dill or paprika or washed in ale.
To round out these savory flavors, pair
with Aligote, a white burgundy from
France that's citrusy but refined with
hints of green apple and honeydew.
