The Art of the Cheese Plate

Making a beautiful, well balanced, quality cheese plate can be simple.  Use what you have and be creative.  We like to include three-four cheeses (a soft, medium, and hard or a cow, sheep, goat), a couple of cracker or bread options, and some spreadables (i.e. mustard, honey, jam).  Add in some nuts, dried fruit, olives, or pickled items.  Dried meats can also be a nice bonus.  

There are no rules.  Just remember to use a beautiful cheese board and incorporate color. The options are limitless.  You can slice, cube, or plane your cheese.  If you have limited time, you can just add the entire wedge/loaf.  Just remember to have spreaders/knives for your guests to use to serve themselves.
