Cheese and cured meat board: quantities and planning
Share
Before ordering, decide what role the board will play in your meal. Quantities differ when it precedes dinner or serves as the main course. The table is a practical starting point to adapt to your guests.
- Tagliere set for cheese pairings
Fig, black bilberry, apricot and peppers in extra virgin olive oil. Four jars to accompany your own selection of cheese. Cheese, bread and accessories are not included.
Indicative quantities per person
| Occasion | Cured meats | Cheese |
|---|---|---|
| Starter before dinner | 50 g | 40 g |
| Drinks and snacks or a light buffet | 80 g | 70 g |
| Dinner as the main course | 120 g | 100 g |
How to read the quantities
The values are per person and retain the examples used in this guide. They are not mandatory portions: consider appetite, other dishes and preferences. Multiply each value by the number of guests, keeping cheese and cured meats separate.
Organise serving
Prepare plates, bowls and utensils before arranging the food. Put out part of the accompaniments and replenish as needed. Follow each product’s label for storage and opened jars, without assuming a universal storage period.
Keep the shopping list clear
Tagliere supplies preserves and peppers in olive oil to accompany cheese and cured meats bought separately. A number of jars is not a guaranteed number of servings: it depends on how much you use and the rest of the meal.
For hospitality businesses
If a board is part of your menu, request the trade price list for formats and terms. Calculate portions and costs from the actual supply rather than applying a standard margin suggested by a blog article.
