  2. Arrange the Charcuterie: Slice the salami. Lay out the fruit & nut crackers and baguette (sliced or torn into pieces). Place the olives in a small bowl with a fork or spoon. Add a handful of Marcona almonds.
  3. Add Fruit: Wash and dry the fresh seasonal fruit (figs, grapes, or strawberries). Scatter among other ingredients for color and freshness. Include a small pile of dried apricots.
  4. Finish with Olive Oil: Pour Pasolivo Lemon or Lime Olive Oil into a small dipping bowl, or drizzle lightly over bread and cheese.
