Instructions
- Allow all cheeses to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving, as this enhances their flavor and texture. Arrange all selected cheeses, nuts, crackers, meats, fruits, and garnishes artfully on a large wooden cutting board or platter, referencing step-by-step visuals if needed. Serve immediately and savor.
Notes
A sturdy wooden board makes a charming base for presentation, though a large plate or plastic board will suffice. Equip guests with cheese knives or butter spreaders for easy serving.
