CheeseYou'll want an assortment of at least 3 different cheeses of various textures and flavors and/or colors. I love cheddar, gouda, havarti and colby jack and small mozzarella cheese balls
Meats/CharcuterieSelect a few dried meats that compliment your cheese flavors, such as Salami, Proscuitto and Soppressata
FruitFresh, use whatever's in season!
Crackers Include a variety of crackers with different textures that compliment your cheese and charcuterie flavor profiles; and/or sliced baguette or other crusty bread.
Nuts & AlmondsChoose a few types of nuts that offer both complimenting and contrasting flavors, like candied pecans and spicy almonds, or salty Marcona almonds
Pickled elements/ sweet & sourCornichons, pickles and sweety drop peppers add great sour notes for balancing the sweetness and saltiness of your other cheese board items.
Olivesblack and green; I love a variety of olives . Castelvetrano olives are a must!
Slider bunsDinner rolls or King's Hawaiian rolls
Deli meats roast beef, ham, turkey, whatever you prefer!

Instructions
Slice the cheese and get everything prepped and opened
Assemble everything on your board or platter. I recommend using a lovely board or platter made of wood or slate, or other eye-catching and food-safe material, for presenting your perfect cheese board to your guests.
Have condiments, plates, napkins and little tongs or forks next to the board so people can pick and choose what they want. Enjoy!
