4 oz. fresh chevre
4 oz. blueberry chevre
3 oz. wedge soft blue cheese
2 oz. wedge elderflower cheddar
2 oz. wedge Alpine blossom cheddar
8 oz. fresh mozzarella pearls
4 oz. whole milk ricotta, whipped
8 oz. burrata

12 fresh baby rainbow carrots, peeled
12 fresh radishes
1 cup fresh green beans
1/2 lb. fresh broccolini
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh strawberries

Accompaniment Ingredients

1 comb honey
1/4 cup wildflower honey
1/2 cup strawberry preserves
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup blueberry preserves
1 cup assorted candied nuts
4 boxes (6.5 oz. each) assorted crackers for serving (we also like Melba toasts)

Cheese Tips

Arrange cheeses on a large cheese board, platter or tray. Place soft cheeses, like mozzarella balls, whipped ricotta and burrata in separate bowls. Place cheese knives and/or spreaders near each cheese.

Produce Tips

Wash and dry all fresh produce. Arrange them around the cheeses. Use bowls or small plates to anchor like veggies together.

Accompaniment Tips

Place the comb honey on a small saucer or on a plate with other sweet cheese, such as the blueberry chevre. Drizzle the whipped ricotta with the wildflower honey. Place preserves within small jars with spoons around the cheeses or beside the board. Fill small ramekins with nuts and place them on the board. Arrange crackers and Melba toasts around the cheeses. Drizzle the burrata with extra virgin olive oil, and season with pinches of salt and pepper.

Cook’s tip: Moving a full cheese board can jostle and ruin your careful arrangement, so it’s a good idea to build your board where you’ll be serving it.
