Milano Salami Charcuterie Board Pairing Ideas

Milano Salami’s mild, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor pairs beautifully with a variety of textures and tastes. Here’s how to build a perfect board:

🧀 Cheeses (Balance Creaminess & Sharpness)

• Parmesan – Aged, nutty, and salty (classic pairing)
• Brie or Camembert – Creamy and mild to contrast the salami’s firmness
• Pecorino Romano – Adds a bit of tangy sharpness
• Gruyère – Nutty and slightly sweet, mirroring the salami’s profile

🍞 Breads & Crackers

• Ciabatta or Baguette – Rustic, crusty bread for a perfect bite
• Grissini (Italian Breadsticks) – Light and crispy for texture contrast
• Rosemary Crackers – Adds an herby element

🍇 Fruits (Fresh & Dried)

• Fresh Grapes – Juicy and refreshing
• Figs (Fresh or Dried) – Sweetness complements the salami’s umami
• Pear Slices – Mild, crisp, and slightly floral
• Apricots – Dried or fresh, bringing bright acidity

🥜 Nuts & Extras

• Marcona Almonds – Buttery and lightly salty
• Walnuts – Earthy, pairing well with cheeses
• Olives (Castelvetrano or Kalamata) – Briny contrast
• Cornichons or Pickled Onions – Tangy crunch to cut the richness

🍷 Wine & Beverage Pairings

• Red Wine: Pinot Noir, Chianti, Barbera (fruity & medium-bodied)
• White Wine: Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc (light & crisp)
• Beer: Belgian Dubbel or Pilsner (malty or crisp)
• Cocktail: Negroni or Aperol Spritz (bittersweet balance)
