How to Make a Cheese Board
Description
Creating a cheese board involves arranging sliced Roth Grand Cru and Prairie Sunset cheeses spaced evenly with bite-sized accompaniments such as grapes, sliced apples, carrots, Marcona almonds, and raw pecans. Small dishes hold fig jam and honey to complement the cheeses’ flavors. Artisanal rosemary crackers and toasted crisps provide crunch and an herbal note.
The variety offers creamy and firm textures with fruity, nutty, and sweet contrasts. The rosemary garnish not only decorates but infuses subtle aroma. Cheese boards work well as appetizers, snacks, or light meals and encourage sharing and tasting different combinations.
To maintain freshness, store components separately after serving, wrapping cheese in wax paper and plastic wrap to preserve texture. Freezing cheese is not recommended as it affects the texture, and vacuum sealing leftovers risks mold development unless done carefully.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces cheese sliced, Roth Grand Cru variety
- 6 ounces Roth Cheese Prairie Sunset sliced
- 3 cups grapes
- 1 carrot sliced
- 1 apple sliced
- 1/3 cup marcona almond

Instructions
- Arrange the sliced cheese around the board keeping space between them.

- Place the fruits and vegetables around the cheese and pinch bowls layering them so they're easy to remove from one another.
- Place the crackers around the fruits and vegetables, stacking them high or fanning them out. There may be extra depending on the size of your board.
- Fill in the gaps with the Marcona almonds, pecans and any other accompaniments you'd like to add. Garnish with greens. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover cheese wrapped in wax paper and then plastic wrap to maintain freshness and texture.
- Keep fruits, nuts, jams, and crackers separately after serving to preserve their quality.
- Freezing leftover cheese is discouraged as it alters the texture and can make it crumbly.
- Vacuum sealing leftover cheese is not recommended unless done properly, as it may promote mold growth.
