How to Make a Tropical Cheeseboard
The dog days of summer are here, and it’s the perfect time for a taste of the tropical. Featuring our fresh Plain Chèvre goat cheese, this vibrant cheeseboard comes together quickly and is a fun centerpiece for your next summer party or backyard BBQ.
We made this spread with the help of our friends at Imperfect Foods — advocates for sustainable, affordable groceries — but it can also be made using similar foods found at your preferred grocery store.
The key to this tropical cheeseboard is balancing flavors: the sweet, salty, and tangy. Feel free to swap some of the items for your own favorites (i.e. fresh pineapple would be a great swap for kiwi), but keep in mind how the foods compliment each other.
/ / The Tangy
Roth Plain Chèvre goat cheese
/ / The Salty
Club-style crackers, plantain chips, and roasted, salted cashews
/ / The Sweet
Dried mango, honey, kiwi fruit, mango salsa, pears, and sea salt & almond chocolate bark
