When it comes to entertaining at home, nothing brings people together quite like a cheese board. Whether it’s a cosy night in with family, a weekend barbecue with friends, or a holiday celebration, a well-styled cheese board turns any gathering into something special.
But here’s the secret: the board itself matters just as much as what you put on it. Choosing the right wooden board not only makes your spread look inviting, but also keeps your cheese, crackers, and accompaniments fresh and safe.
So, what’s the best wood for a cheese board? And how do you build one that will have your guests coming back for seconds? Let’s dig in.
Not all boards are created equal. The material you choose will affect food safety, durability, and even how your cheese tastes.
👉 That’s why Acacia (used in our Wild Wood range) is such a great choice. It’s tough enough to last for years, naturally antibacterial, and kind to your knives — no dull blades here.
Once you’ve got your board sorted, the fun really begins. Here’s a simple formula you can use every time to create a balanced and impressive spread.
Choose 3–4 types of cheese, mixing different textures and flavours:
This mix keeps everyone happy — from the mild-cheese lover to the bold blue-cheese fan.
Add bread and crackers to give variety in texture. Think: baguette slices, ciabatta, water crackers, multigrain crisps, or parmesan wafers.
Fresh fruit adds colour and sweetness: grapes, pears, figs, raspberries, or even tangerine slices. Add olives or cornichons for something savoury.
Balance the saltiness of cheese with dried fruits, honey, or chutney. A handful of almonds or cashews gives extra crunch.
The best cheese boards aren’t just for a special occasion — they’re made to be used again and again. Here’s how to make yours timeless:
With the right care, a high-quality wooden board can last for decades — becoming part of your family’s food traditions.
