What is the 3-3-3-3 Rule for Charcuterie Boards? No matter the style of the wood charcuterie board, you can always follow the 3-3-3-3 rule. Every charcuterie board should have three meats, three cheeses, three starch options, and three accompaniments, such as fruit, nuts, or veggies.

Most common are hard salami's, dried cured hams or smoked, dry/smoked sausages, prosciutto, mortadella, sopressata, capicola, black forest ham, pepperoni, and some people use smoked salmon which is one of my favorites. That depends on what you and your guests like and your budget .

Planning Party Platters: Ideas From Experience

Plan on 2 to 3 ounces of meat per person. (25 servings of cold cuts would be 3 to 5 pounds) Plan 1 to 1 1/2 ounces of cheese slices per serving.

Half-trays normally feed approximately 25-30 people. Full-Trays normally feed approximately 40-45 people. Always consider the variety of different foods, sides, salads and the ages of your guests when ordering.

The number of full trays of food needed for 100 guests can vary depending on the type of food and serving style, but a rough estimate would be around 10-12 trays.

When determining how much cold cuts to buy for a party consider 1/3rd pound for each person. For 25 people that amounts to about 8 pounds. If you are adding cheese and other additions to the sandwhich you may want to cut the amount of meat down to 1/4 pound per person.

A typical board would be meat, cheese, extra (fruit, veggies, crackers). Therefore if you have 50 people you would want 50 ounces of meat, 50 ounces of cheese and 50 ounces of extras. One pound of cheese, one pound of meat, and one pound of a combination of fruit, veggies and crackers= 16 people.

Here is the estimated amount of an ideal charcuterie per person serving: 2-3 oz meat, 4-5 sliced cheeses, and fewer additional accompaniments while presenting as an appetizer. 5-6 oz meat, 6-7 sliced cheeses, and plenty of additional accompaniments while serving as an entire meal.

A general rule of thumb is to allocate about 2-4 ounces of meat and cheese per person. For additional ingredients, such as fruits, nuts, and olives, aim for 1-2 ounces per person. These recommendations can be adjusted based on the specific tastes and preferences of your guests.
