There is something about this cheese board that makes you want to just hunker down and dive in. The colors, textures, and of course, the flavors, draw you in. It would be great outdoors after a hike in the mountains, or cozied up next to a warm fire with a glass of your favorite beverage after a day on the slopes. Cheese boards are a great way to share your favorite tasty bites with friends and family.
This cheese board includes cheese, meats and nuts as well as other goodies. Select your personal favorite ingredients to make it your own. There is something especially appealing about cheese served on a wooden or slate board in the outdoors. Check out our cheese and nut pairing guide to explore the best options.
