Arranging a cheese board: ideas
A cheese board can be set up in different ways. There are no limits to your imagination.
- Classically sculptural: You can easily arrange a cheese platter by arranging the cheese slices in a wave-like pattern. Alternate them with cold cuts, for example. Use different types of cheese and slices of bread.
- Thematic: Set up an Italian or Spanish cheese platter, for example. Use Italian and Spanish specialties and types of cheese that you arrange nicely. Tomato slices and olives, for example, should not be missing here.
- Cubed Cheese: Simply dice the cheese and arrange it in small mounds on the platter. Also, chop up the vegetables and place them next to the cheese. Lay out cheese cubes, then toothpicks or toothpicks with small decorative elements should not be missing.
- Nuts and apples: If you like apples and nuts, you can put them out with the cheese in the same way. For example, cut the apple into slices and serve them with different cheeses and nuts.

Cheese can be combined with many foods. Choose the variant that suits your taste.
- Herbs: Serve your cheese platter with herbs. Dill, parsley, and basil, for example, are suitable for this. Decorate the cheese board with a few sprigs of herbs.
- Dip: You can use the remaining herbs for a dip or cream cheese. Chop the herbs into small pieces and mix them into the cream cheese.
- Crackers: You can also serve crackers with the cheese. Arrange your favorite crackers, such as salty or herb crackers, along with the cheese on a platter and add herbs, for example.
- Sausage: Sausage and cheese go well together. Combine different types of cheese and sausage, such as ham or salami. Also, add herbs and/or crackers.
- Fruits and vegetables: Cheese goes well with grapes and dates. Serve your cheese platter with olives, cucumbers, and tomatoes, for example.
The size of the cheese board varies
Cheese boards can look different. If you are expecting many guests, then the cheese platter can be larger. Also, mix hard and soft cheeses together. Add bread slices and a dip. Fruits should not be missing here either. Decorate with different herbs.
- Large cheese board: Arrange a large cheese board, for example, on one large board or on several boards. Use different types of cheese that you and your guests like.
- Glass bowl cheese plate: Arrange your cheese slices along with sausage slices in a bowl. Also fill them with fruit, nuts, and crackers.
- Tiered cheese platters: If you like it decorative, simply arrange your cheese platter on several tiers. To do this, use several boards that you place on upturned bowls and pots. Arrange your cheese here along with fruit, veg, and bread.
