Add some crackers or bread for a carbohy-GREAT board! Sarah Crawford, member of the ALDI Charcuterie Board of Directors, encourages everyone to follow what she calls "_the 3,3,3,3 rule: Choose three cheeses, three meats, three carbs, and three accompaniments for a perfectly balanced board every time._"

All of the above!

If you’ve ever noshed on cheddar, you know it’s _hard_ not to love! Every great charcuterie board has a mix of both hard and soft cheeses. Try a tasty aged cheddar (looking at you, [Emporium Selection Aged Reserve White Cheddar](https://www.aldi.us/en/products/dairy-eggs/cheese/detail/ps/p/emporium-selection-aged-reserve-white-cheddar/)) if you're looking for a hard cheese — while Brie, ricotta, and feta are ideal soft options.

Cheddar is a hard cheese!

Lifestyle expert, global traveler, and recipe creator Rosalynn Daniels of the ALDI Charcuterie Board of Directors states, “_Don’t be afraid to get creative. Add fresh produce, flowers, or any colorful flourish to your board to really make it pop._”

They all can!

Who is RED-y for happy hour? New York City sommelier and ALDI Charcuterie Board of Directors member Sarah Tracey states, “_Since pinot noir is a lighter red, it pairs perfectly with semisoft, milder cheeses and more delicate meats that won't overpower the wine_."

According to the ALDI Charcuterie Board of Directors, all the above flavor pairings would be a hit. Try them at your next get-together and your taste buds (and guests) will thank you.

These are all tasty combos!

The more, the merrier! Kim Brazington, an ACS Certified Cheese Professional and cheese buyer for ALDI, suggests choosing cheeses that aren’t too similar to one another. “_The key to building an impressive cheese board is choosing cheeses from different categories, such as fresh, bloomy, washed rind, semisoft, and hard and blue cheese._”
