FAQs

To find the best salami for your salami roses, choose a meat that’s thinly sliced and round for the best looking roses. As for flavour, it’s really up to you. If you like it milder flavours, Italian or Genoa salami are good choices, but for a little more spice you can use pepperoni to add a bit of fire to your charcuterie board.

The secret to creating a beautiful charcuterie board is having a mixture of ingredients that offer a variety of colours, textures and flavours. We recommend assorted cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruit and nuts. Finish off with crackers and bread for dipping and a different texture, to fill up the platter. The perfect centrepiece for entertaining!

Yes, you can make salami roses ahead of time, just be sure to store them properly. To store them, cover with cling wrap and place them in an airtight container for up to one day. When you’re ready to build your charcuterie board, simply take out your roses, toast your bread, and assemble.
