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.

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.
