With the holiday season well and truly upon us, it’s high time to consider what cheese you’ll be offering/scoffing (that is if you haven’t already).
I’m a big fan of Pinterest for ideas, be it for mouth-watering dishes or style titbits, so I’ve picked some of my favourite cheese boards pinned on the site; perhaps they’ll inspire you in time for Christmas or your next soirée.

This pin originates from Joanna Goddard’s cheese-friendly food and lifestyle blog. She’s selected six cheeses for the perfect cheese plate, a well chosen arrangement of soft, blue and hard cheeses.

I like the quirky cut-out style of these graphics. A winning cheese board pin: simple and informative.

More traditional, this lush, wholesome board was pinned from another lifestyle blog, Rough Luxe Lifestyle. I love its autumnal harvest look, with an inviting display of figs, dried apricots, nuts and range of exotic cheeses.

This is a textbook cheese board pin. Clear images and concise, arrowed labels. What more could you ask from a cheese platter guide?

In contrast to the others, Jessica Sloane’s clean, neatly arranged cheese board separates each element: cheese on a round board, olives, nuts and chutney on a stripy serviette and fresh fruit loaf with assorted crackers on a separate board.

Poking out from the mounds of cheese and crackers, I love how the sprigs of rosemary point, like fingers, towards the colourful condiments. Thumbs up from me.

Never mind that this pin was found on a tumblr called mildredmildred (brilliant name), this vivid photo leaps off the screen with its voluptuous jam, ripe figs, speckled cheese, crunchy hazelnuts and gorgeous plums. You can almost taste each ingredient.

This minimalist cheese board is carefully stocked with Mediterranean delights from Italy, Spain and Greece. The author, Lindsey Johnson, coins a handy phrase for choosing the right cheese: Something old, something new, something goat, something blue.

Round as a full moon, this symmetrically pleasing board aptly features a goat’s cheese called Midnight Moon. I’m taken with the subtle yet confident font labelling each item, plus the rich red board contrasts beautifully with the yellow Cheddar, purple grapes, pale Gouda and caramel-coloured fig chips.
