1. Set up your greenery

Fall greenery or herbs adds a unique and beautiful feel to the cheese board! A few great options for decor around the cheese board are eucalyptus, fall leaves, sage, rosemary, and olive branch.

2. Start with Stella® Fontinella® Cheese

Start your fall cheese board out with Stella® Fontinella® Cheese, which is a semi-hard cheese that’s delicately sweet, creamy smooth, and has just a hint of sharpness. This cheese has been one of our hands-down FAVORITES!

Be sure to take your cheese board to the next level this holiday season with Stella® Cheese!

3. Add in a soft and hard cheese

Choose a soft or semi-soft cheese (like blue cheese, goat cheese, or brie) and a hard cheese (like manchego, gruyère, or gouda) to add to your board.

4. Add in fresh fall fruit

Grapes, apple slices, pears, and figs are all great options!

5. Olives

Both green and black olives are perfect for a fall-inspired cheese board!

6. Pepitas

Pepitas (or pumpkin seeds) are perfect for capturing fall flavors.

7. Slice a baguette

What pairs perfectly with cheese? Bread, of course! Toast and slice a baguette for the ultimate cheese board experience!

8. Add crackers

Having crackers on the board is a must! Whole wheat or rice crackers are delicious and a crowd-pleaser.

9. Add in fall nuts

Fill in empty spaces on your cheese board with walnuts, pecans, or pine nuts.

10. Cranberries

Add in cranberries and other dried fruit options to take your cheese board to the next level!

Tips for making an AMAZING cheese board

  • Use the best quality cheese.
  • Balance the cheese board by keeping similar items on opposite ends.
  • Fill in empty spaces with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
  • But don’t overcrowd your cheese board!
