Cheese Platters

Display Appetizers with a Cheese Platter

Entertain friends at weekend dinner parties with a flavorful cheese platter. Create an inviting tablescape with assorted Italian meats and French cheeses displayed on trays and plates of varying sizes. Arrange a diverse selection of aged, soft, hard and blue cheeses on a board to adhere to every guest’s taste palette. Leave out accompanying cheese knives so your company can easily serve themselves. Hosting a large gathering? A long, rectangular board features additional space for small bites while retaining the rustic appearance of traditional serving boards. Reimagine the classic wood surface and opt instead for a more modern spread with a marble cheese platter. Alternatively, set a slate board atop the kitchen table or bar—the non-porous material ensures that hors d'oeuvres’ flavors won’t sink into the serving dish, guaranteeing a fresh taste with each bite. Pair cheeses with other appetizers such as brûléed fruit and crisp breads, and keep these in nearby serving bowls. Finish the tabletop with your go-to red and white wines served in sleek wine glasses for a pristine evening.
