Steps To Creating A Fabulous Cheese Board:

STEP #1: Decide how you want to display your food.

Do you want a flat tray?

Do you want a tiered food display option?

Do you want a lazy susan option that will allow people to spin it so they can get a 360-degree experience?

What material do you want your display to be… Wooden? Marble? Glass?

Do you want it to have a handle?

Do you want it to have a lip so food doesn’t slip off?

Once you know where you plan to place your cheeseboard, it might help you decide what size to get. Should it be small? Large? Round? Long? Skinny?
