Step 1: Choosing Your Meats and Wines 

Charcuterie boards typically feature a variety of cured meats that offer different flavors and textures. Pairing the right wine enhances the flavors of your charcuterie board. Here are some great combinations:

  • Mulami Prosciutto – Delicate and slightly sweet, pairs well with sparkling wine or Pinot Grigio.

  • Mulami Salami – Rich and savory, best paired with a medium-bodied red like Sangiovese or Zinfandel.

  • Mulami Habanero Salami – Spicy and smoky, complements a bold red such as Syrah or Tempranillo.

  • Mulami Prosciutto – A slightly spicy cured beef that works beautifully with a light red like Beaujolais or Pinot Noir.

Step 2: Adding Accoutrements

Enhance the board with a mix of textures and flavors:

  • Crackers and Bread – A variety of baguette slices, breadsticks, and artisan crackers.

  • Fruits – Fresh grapes, apple slices, figs, or dried apricots add sweetness.

  • Mustard - Adds tangy contrast to balance the richness of meats.

  • Nuts – Almonds, walnuts, or pistachios provide crunch.

  • Olives and Pickles – Offer briny, tangy flavors to balance richness.

  • Honey and Jams – A drizzle of honey or fig jam enhances the meats.

Step 3: Assembling Your Board

  1. Start by placing your Mulami meats evenly across the board.
