What is a cheese board?
Cheese boards are serving boards that are often stylish that are often filled with different types of finger foods that complement one another, often mostly enjoyed as a share food.
What do cheese boards consist of?
The fun part about these boards is that the staple treats are the different types of cheese with the rest being absolutely up to you. However, do not that the traditional cheese boards include cold meat, crackers, a tasty spread like honey or jam, and fruits. Remember it is entirely up to you to keep them simple or take it a top notch by adding some more food items for extra personality.
What should the setup look like?
Presentation matters, so to make your boards appear a bit more upscale be sure to include different colours and be sure to include more than just one cheese. You cannot call it a cheese board and not have a selection of cheese to play around with, three cheeses usually do the trick.
Feel free to go all out with the layout of the foods on the board.
