Instructions

Notes
- Select a variety of cheeses with different textures and flavors for the best tasting experience.
- Use fresh, seasonal fruit to enhance the board’s appearance and flavor.
- Consider adding crackers or sliced baguette on the side for additional crunch if desired.
- For a themed grazing board, customize the nuts and olives to match other cheeses or flavors.
- Keep olives in a bowl to prevent juices from mixing with other ingredients and keeping the board visually appealing.
