Making a Cheese Board





Making a cheese board may be daunting and frustrating because of how many options there are.  But it doesn't have to be that way. I  suggest starting with an item that you absolutely want, and going from there. Maybe that means your favorite cheese, or maybe one cheese and one meat. As far as quantity is concerned, base it on how many guests you have.

1 ounce of cheese per person
1 to 2 tablespoons nuts
1 to 2 tablespoons condiments
4 pieces of fruit
4 to 6 vegetables
1 to 2 ounces of meat.

As a main, the amounts increase:

1 to 2 ounces cheese  
2 to 3 tablespoons nuts
3 to 4 tablespoons condiments
4 to 5 pieces of fruit
6 to 10 vegetables
2 to 3 ounces of meat

Fill in the rest with a variety of flavors and textures.

If you like, you can concentrate on doing one item in advance lets say, dip or quick pickle or jam. Then purchase as many high-quality things as you can locate or manage.

Your large wooden cutting board always allows for an enticing showing. Many choices like slate or ceramic trays or some large serving boards. Make sure to have knives, spoons, tiny tongs, toothpicks and other items to enable people to feed themselves. Runny products, such as honey or jelly, can be stored in ramekins or in tiny containers. It is also beneficial to mark cheese in one form or another.
