The key to a great cheese board is having a variety of flavors, textures, and colors. You’ll build your board around a mix of cheeses: hard, soft, and blue. Then add in a few sweet and savory pairings, and voila! The perfect holiday appetizer.

Elle’s Kid-Friendly Cheese Board

Elle, our inventory manager (and former cheese manager), has compiled a cheese board with approachable flavors that everyone at your gathering will enjoy! 

CHEESES

• Shelburne Farms’ 2-Year Cheddar
• Sweet Rowan Farmstead’s Cheese Curds
• Vermont Farmstead’s Lille (ok, this one is actually for me…)

CHARCUTERIE

• Summer sausage

ACCOMPANIMENT

• Candied walnuts (although plain walnuts work well too)
• Sicilian olive mix (This is my favorite one, but really any yummy *pitted* olive will work)

Happy holidays!
