In order to get started, you’ll need the following ingredients & materials:

Now that you have your ingredients and materials, it’s time to start styling your salami. Below I outline 3 easy creative styling techniques that only take minutes to learn!
Salami Styling #1: Salami Rose
Salami roses are a beautiful yet easy addition to any charcuterie board presentation. They are made by rolling thin, large slices of salami into a rose-like shape, using a small wine glass.
- Start with 6-8 slices of genoa salami rounds and a small wine glass.
- Layer your slices of salami in an overlapping pattern around wine glass so the full rim is covered.
- Flip your wine glass over carefully & place the salami rose on your board.
Salami Styling #2: Salami Roll-Up
Salami roll ups add a unique touch to any charcuterie board! They are made by lining up thin, large slices of salami and then rolling them up from one end to another. I used hot soppressata for the example below.
- Start with 6-8 slices of Salami in an overlapping line.
- Fold your line of salami in half and then begin rolling the salami from one end to the other.
- Transfer your salami roll-up to your final arrangement!
Salami Styling #3: Salami Rounds
Salami rounds are definitely the simplest form of styling, but add such a nice touch to any board. Simply slice up your italian dry salami and lay in an overlapping pattern on your final arrangement.
- Start with a hard link of dry-aged salami.
- Slice salami in 1/4 inch thick pieces.
- Arrange your salami in an overlapping pattern on your final arrangement.
Easy peasy! Which one will you try first?
