How to Build a Patriotic Cheese Board for the 4th of July
A cheese board is the easiest way to impress guests before the grill even heats up. This Fourth of July, lean into the holiday with a red, white, and blue color palette — strawberries, blueberries, and white cheeses — and a selection of premium artisan cheeses that give people something to talk about.

Board Assembly Tips

- Add crackers in fans or stacks between the cheeses
- Fill gaps with fruit, nuts, and dried items
- Finish with fresh herbs and a small bowl of honey
- Work in odd numbers for a naturally balanced look
