-Assembling your board-
When you’re putting together a variety board for a gathering, there are a few staples that are a must! We recommend a tasty mix of flavors, colors and textures to ensure there are plenty delicious combinations to be made.
When creating your board, you can follow the 4 S’s, Sweet, Savory, Salty and Spicy. As long as you have these four, your guests will be in for a treat!
Here’s some suggestions for creating your board:
-
A selection of fresh fruits or dried - Apples, Raspberries, Strawberries, Grapes, Pears, Cranberries, Apricots, Cherries
-
Nuts - Smoked Almonds, Walnuts, Pistachios.
-
Bread and Crackers - Wheat Crackers, Toasted Sourdough bread, French Baguette Slices.
-
Cheese - Bleu, Brie, Feta, Smoked Gouda, Sharp Cheddar, Pepper Jack
Tip: See below for our favorite Artisan Vegan cheeses!
-Our favorite Artisan Cheeses-
Treeline - Treenut Cheeses
Treeline makes soft french-style nut cheeses. They are super tangy, creamy and easily spreadable. This makes them perfect for a cheese board as it is easy to spread them on bagels, crusty bread or crackers! The tangy and richness goes perfectly with fresh fruit and assorted nuts! We recommend trying a few of their many flavors!
Virgin Cheese - Organic Vegan Artisan
Virgin Cheese produces vegan, artisanal cheeses of the highest order made from pure plant power. Decadent and delicious, traditionally cultured, cashew milk based cheese that contains NO: soy, GMOs, lactose, gluten, dairy or animal products - and, unlike dairy cheese, is completely cholesterol-free.
Jule’s Vegan Cheeses
Jules uses traditional cheese making techniques from around the world to create complex flavors and textures without using dairy, in place of dairy we use fair trade, organic cashews . At Jule’s, their Brie and other cheeses are aged up to 3 weeks to achieve optimal flavor and texture. Their cheeses are hand flipped everyday to insure the rind grows evenly and matures with grace.
