Ingredients

For the Cheeses

1 wheel Brie cheese Creamy texture adds a rich flavor; swap with Camembert for a similar taste.
1 block Gouda cheese Semi-soft with a sweet, nutty flavor; can substitute with Havarti for a milder taste.
1 log Goat cheese Tangy and creamy; enhances the board's diversity, but use feta if unavailable.

For the Meats

4 oz Prosciutto Salty and delicate; alternately, use thinly sliced turkey for a less intense flavor.
4 oz Salami Flavorful and spicy; pairs well with cheeses, but turkey pepperoni offers a lighter option.
4 oz Hard salami Provides a firmer texture; use chorizo for a spicier alternative.

For the Accompaniments

16 oz Crackers Provides crunch; mix various types like water and whole grain for variety.
16 oz Grapes Sweet and juicy; adds freshness—substitute with sliced apples or pears if needed.
8 oz Cherry tomatoes Adds pop of color and juiciness; vegetable sticks like cucumbers can be used instead.
4 oz Green olives Briny flavor balances richness; swap with mixed olives for variety.
8 oz Almonds Crunchy and healthy; walnuts can provide a different texture.
2 oz Raspberry preserves Adds a sweet touch; pairs wonderfully with cheeses but substitute with another fruit preserve if desired.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Aldi Charcuterie Board

Prepare Your Workspace: Gather all ingredients on a clean, spacious surface or large cutting board. Ensure small cups for raspberry preserves, a knife for slicing, and serving platters are ready.
Place the Dips: Put raspberry preserves in small cups around the board, adding sweetness and inviting guests to explore flavors.
Arrange the Crackers: Create small stacks of assorted crackers around the board for a crunchy element that enhances the platter.
Add Meats and Cheeses: Layer prosciutto, salami, and hard salami with slices of Brie, gouda, and goat cheese, artistically stacking them for visual appeal.
Fill Gaps with Fruits: Tuck clusters of grapes and cherry tomatoes into available spaces for freshness and color.
Finalize with Other Items: Complete the board with green olives, almonds, and any leftover cheese or meats for a balanced palette.
