Alabaster Cheese Board

Filed under: Dining

There are two main advantages to using a stone cheese board instead of a wooden one. First, the naturally cooler temperature keeps very soft cheeses together longer, which makes them easier to serve. Second, they are significantly easier to clean than wooden boards, some of which may crack or warp after washings. In addition to those two features, this Mexican Alabaster Cheese Board is cut to resemble a giant wedge of Swiss, and the color of the stone really flatters the design. It measures 10" x 10" and comes with a stainless steel cheese knife. In addition to being a great serving piece, the set would also make a wonderful gift for any cheese-loving friends. Price: $100.

Cheese is a hot item right now, with more upscale restaurants offering cheese courses in addition to dessert than ever before, so the cheese-lover is already in heaven when he or she goes out to eat. Now, cheese can be used as more than just food. It can be used to decorate the home without looking, well, cheesy. The Fromage Side Table is a sleek piece of solid walnut carved to resemble Swiss Cheese. It could just be the ultimate cheese board, in a very literal way, although you will have to watch what you set on it.

Ultimate Cheese Plate

Filed under: Dining

The cheese board that is used for slicing and serving cheeses, the selection of which is also known as a cheese board, can be made out of a variety of materials. The majority, it seems, are made from small slabs of marble, which are attractive and simple. This ceramic cheese plate is attractive, but certainly not simple. It was handmade in Italy and carefully imprinted with the shapes and logos of different cheeses, accented with the print of a cheese knife. And while it may be the ultimate gift for a cheese lover, it can also be used by novices to create a basic cheese selection and plate it elegantly, using the imprints as guidelines. It measures 12"x12" and is $150.
