Ready to impress your guests? This fun and foolproof guide will show you how to build the ultimate charcuterie board – layered with cheeses, cured meats, crackers, fruits, and all the tasty extras. 

Your dishes 

Who says you should only use one board to serve your delicious platter? Make the large serving board your canvas, then grab cute bowls, ramekins or any mismatched dishes and let the styling process begin. These small bowls are perfect for dips, olives, nuts, and all the tasty bits that like to roll around. 

Choose your meats 

Let’s start with the stars of the board – meats! “Charcuterie” comes from the French word for cured pork, but don’t stop there. Mix it up with at least three types to keep things tasty: spicy salami, smoky ham, or a bit of biltong (we are South African, after all). Just keep your budget in mind – meats can be pricey, so balance them out with more affordable fillers like crackers, nuts, or fresh fruit.

Cheese selection 

Like meats, cheese is one of the heavy hitters on your board. If your budget allows, aim for three types of cheese on your board: firm, soft and blue cheese. Mixing textures and tastes keeps things exciting and gives your guests plenty to sample.  

Types of cheese to consider as options to serve: 

Firm: Manchego, Edam, Gouda  

Soft: Brie, Camembert, goat’s cheese  

Blue cheese: Stilton or Gorgonzola 

Crackers, fruits and veggies 

Every great charcuterie board needs a little crunch and a splash of colour. Grab a couple of crackers or bread options – something sturdy for spreading and something light for snacking. Then, bring in some freshness! Seasonal fruits and veggies like grapes, berries, cucumber slices, or even baby carrots add that juicy, crisp contrast to all the rich meats and cheeses.

The Hisense H760FS-ID is a stylish fridge with a premium appearance and a flat door design that discreetly integrates into any kitchen. 

It also offers an LED panel for precise control, expansive food-storage space, flexible shelving, and an ice-and water dispenser. We unpack the top features of the new Hisense H760FS-ID fridge below. 

Keeping it fresh 

When choosing a fridge, the most important feature is, of course, how effectively it keeps your food fresh. Hisense has overlaid the back wall of the Hisense H760FS-ID with stainless steel to ensure even distribution of cool air, and combined this with its Multi Air Flow and Super Cool refrigeration technologies to ensures your food stays fresher for longer. 

Smart and precise control 

You can easily manage your fridge’s settings using the H760FS-ID’s LED touch control panel. This panel, which is easy to reach and use, provides simple and precise control over your fridge – including fine-tuning the temperature to your specific needs. 

You can also control the H760FS-ID’s eco settings, activate and deactivate the child lock, and turn on the in-door water and ice dispenser, which can produce 1.8 kg of cubed or crushed ice every day. 

Additional control comes in the form of ConnectLife – Hisense’s smartphone app that lets you manage your smart fridge from anywhere. 

You can adjust temperature settings at any time through the ConnectLife app, while an included food-management feature allows you to name the items in your fridge and set individual expiration dates. 

The app will then notify you when products reach or are nearing their expiration dates, ensuring you reduce wastage through optimised food management. 

Optimised storage 

There is ample space for all your food and drinks in the Hisense H760FS-ID, which is equipped with 536 litres of storage – including 396 litres of fridge space and 140 litres of freezer space. 

Management of this large space is made easy by fully adjustable shelves that can be positioned at any height to accommodate all containers – from low casserole dishes to tall bottles. 

Hisense’s Sliding Shelf augments your storage layouts further, allowing you to slide the front half of the shelf back to make space for taller products. The H760FS-ID’s door then offers an XXL Door Balcony for bulky milk cartons and bottles of juice.
