A cheese board isn’t really a recipe in the usual sense — it’s more about composition: arranging a handful of cheeses and accompaniments so the whole thing looks generous and works together on the palate. A good board is built on contrast, in texture, sharpness, and sweetness, so every guest finds something they like.

The foundation is three or four different cheeses: one firm and aged, one soft with a bloomy rind, one easygoing semi-hard cheese, and one blue cheese for anyone who likes something sharper. Avoid picking five cheeses that are all similar in texture — the board will look and taste one-note, even if each cheese is excellent on its own.
