How to Make a Fall-Inspired Cheeseboard
We celebrate cheeseboards year-round, but fall boards are extra special. Pairing your favorite cheeses with comforting autumn specialties like pumpkin butter, fresh and dried fruits, and fall-inspired condiments ensures a little something for everyone.
The only thing easier than making one is eating one. Variety and experimentation are key to any tempting cheeseboard – a mix of fl avors (salty, sweet, sour), textures (creamy, crunchy, fi rm, unctuous), and colors (creamy white, meaty red, golden apricot). Every cheeseboard is a delicious work of art!
Cheeses: Make your board sing with cheeses from every family: fresh, semisoft, medium-textured, hard, and blue. It’s best to include one ounce of cheese per person, but we recommend representing as many types as possible. Fall in love with new cheeses, and discover fl avors as unique as the Golden State by trying the variety of California cheeses featured on these pages.
Crostini, Crackers, & Crusty Bread: What’s a cheeseboard without a crunchy vehicle for the cheese? Crisp crackers, crusty slices of whole-grain toast, and Di Bruno Bros. crostini are ideal snacks but reach their maximum potential when paired with our cheeses. With fi ve fl avors to choose from – Olive Oil, Sea Salt, Garlic, Rosemary, and Parmesan – our crostini will add your quintessential crunch.
Artisanal Jams: Balance out all the savory with a bit of sweet – try fruit-forward jams like Eat This! Spiced Caramel Pear Jam (see page 18), and Di Bruno Bros. Blood Orange-Grappa, Fig-Acacia & Honey, or Strawberry-Prosecco Jams.
Fruits: The fall bounty of sweet apples and crunchy pears are meant for your cheeseboards. Don’t have fresh produce on hand? The concentrated fl avors of dried fruits complement cheeses and other components beautifully.
Nuts: Go nuts with extra texture! Toasted and caramelized nuts signify fall with their burnt amber hues and rich aromas. Get all your crunch from one convenient bag of our endlessly snackable High Society Snack Mix featuring smoked almonds, pepitas, and cashews. Or infuse more fl avors with our Cinnful Cocoa Pecans, Très Toffee Pecans, or Black Lava Peanuts.
