How To Make A Cheeseboard

The holidays are here, and of course, we are being EXTRA this year and leaning towards cheese boards as a delightful choice for entertaining guests. Considering cheeseboards are the perfect blend of taste, visual appeal, and effortless preparation, we don't see why it can't be your favourite thing this season.

The beauty of cheese boards lies in their quick assembly, requiring only a few minutes to create a visually striking addition to any gathering, making them a go-to choice for hassle-free elegance.

Contrary to what you may be used to seeing on Instagram aka high costs meticulous food styling, cheeseboards aren't exactly that hard to curate. The focus is on achieving a tasteful outcome without unnecessary intricacies.

At the core of creating a cheese board is a simple principle—pile your preferred elements onto a board. This approach prioritizes personal taste and enjoyment, ensuring a bespoke experience for every occasion.

While some may opt for more structured arrangements, there are some items that are non-negotiable - cheese, salty items, sweet elements, crackers, and condiments/sauces for a well-rounded presentation.

When it comes to cheese recommendations, the key is to include a mix of textures (soft, hard, crumbly), a variety of strengths, and a diverse array of colors and shapes to enhance the overall visual allure.

Brie, Parmesan and Blue cheese seem to be the winning choice for any cheeseboard.

Beyond cheese, the non-cheese categories on a cheese board encompass a variety of options, including meaty/salty items, crunchy elements, sweet additions, fruits, veggies, condiments, and garnishes. Specific suggestions range from prosciutto, nuts, and dried fruits to grapes, veggies, and various condiments, enriching the overall culinary experience.

A cheeseboard is the farthest thing from complex. Start off by placing your cheese on the board and then taking it from there. It is important to keep in mind the colour scheme. Do not stuff one colour category together. Instead spread out grapes and cherry tomatoes here and there to add a pop of colour.
