How to Build a Cheese Board
Cheese
When picking cheese, there’s no need to splurge on artisan expensive ones to make it beautiful, just make sure to change it up - pick different color cheeses, different shapes and sizes - you want to add variety and texture.
Nuts and dried fruit
This is great for added texture and filling in the empty spaces, and for nibbling obv! Don’t just use brown ones, get some pretty white cashews, spicy almonds and some wasabi peas… variety is everything! For the dried fruits, apples and apricots work great. I used fresh fruit here but anything goes really.
Fresh Fruit
grapes, figs and berries all pair perfectly with cheese. Stick to fruits with pretty colors, it’s what’s going to make it pop. Sliced pears and apples also work perfectly, they add that perfect tanginess and sweetness to a salty bite!
Bread and crackers
Crusty French baguette is perfect, firstly I can eat this thing myself, it’s that good! But also it makes perfectly round chewy crostinis that are great with creamy cheese! Other good things to add, are thin crackers, bread sticks and Mary’s crackers!
