1. START WITH THE VERY BEST CHEESE Wisconsin wins more awards than any other state or country, so look for the Proudly Wisconsin Cheese badge on the packaging. 2. BALANCE COLOR/FLAVOR/TEXTURE You’ll find shades ranging from creamy white to deep orange and some with veining and unique rubs on the outside, so choose a colorful variety. When it comes to flavor and texture, you should choose from several different cheese categories. Think aged cheeses, fresh cheeses, spreadable cheeses, blues and even some fun flavored cheeses. 3. PICK YOUR BOARD Slate, wood, marble - just pick the board that inspires you and complements your décor. 4. CUT AND PLACE YOUR SELECTION OF WISCONSIN CHEESES Tap into the charcuterie trend - try sausage, salami or try paper-thin slices of prosciutto or bresaola, serrano ham, cappicola, mortadella, speck and paté as cheese accompaniments. 5. ACCESSORIZE Place the cheese on the board first since it’s the star of the show. Add all of your salty and sweet accompaniments around it. Fill in any gaps with nuts, berries, honey, bread, charcuterie and more. Get creative and have fun! T e Perfec Paletle CheeseBoard 101
