Step 1

You want to use a variety of cheeses on your platter. Variety comes in the form of hard, soft, and semi-soft cheeses. Also aged and new.

Step 2

Start with a platter or cutting board. Don’t be afraid to choose a larger piece and really make a statement with the arrangement.

Step 3

Place all of the cheese around the platter. Space them out, separate soft cheeses, cut larger wedges into two, and place next to each other.

Step 4

Fill mini bowls with olives, nuts, jam, and honeycomb.

Step 5

Place the bowls around the cheeseboard.

Step 6

Crackers are a crucial part of the cheese platter. Add them around the platter.

Step 7

After the larger items are placed, add the charcuterie to the platter.

Step 8

Fill in areas with pretty sliced fruit. Fan the fruit out for a pretty look.
