Ingredients

Cheese

  • 21 oz. sliced cheese (Colby, sharp cheddar, and cheddar jack)

  2. Layer Ingredients: Stack each subsequent line of ingredients on top of the base line, making each line slightly shorter than the previous to create a tree shape. Use cherry tomatoes, green olives, fresh cherries, cheddar jack cheese, Almond Nut-Thins, gourmet almonds, fresh rosemary sprigs, Kalamata olives, sharp cheddar, green grapes, and dried cranberries in this order.
  3. Serve: Once assembled, serve the board with snack-sized plates and toothpicks for easy picking and sharing.
