Gluten-Free Fall Cheeseboard

I absolutely love cheeseboards! So much so, that I literally bought a book on different kinds of cheeseboards: That Cheese Plate Will Change Your Life. It’s been such a long time since I’ve made a cheeseboard, but I’ve been inspired to make a fall cheeseboard that encapsulates all of the flavors of the fall with the beautiful bright reds of the season. This Gluten-Free Fall Cheeseboard hits the spot for fall-inspired appetizers.

Cheeseboards are the perfect thing to make for entertaining. This Gluten-Free Fall Cheeseboard also makes it easier to entertain for those with any type of gluten-intolerance. The best part about cheeseboards is that they can be versatile for seasons. If you’re worried about people grazing over the food with their hands (due to Covid-19 precautions) I would omit the smaller fruits like pomegranate seeds and provide toothpicks for easy picking. You could also pre-make little charcuterie bites: cubes of cheese with a slice of meat & a fruit on a toothpick.

For this board, I wanted to use Fall fruits like pomegranates and Fall colors like blackberries to add brightness and also a nice punch of fruity flavor. This might seem crazy but I hadn’t tried pomegranates until only about one month ago! I love the tart and sweet crunch that they provide on the plate.

Some tips for a better Fall Cheeseboard:

  • Take out the cheese up to 1-hour before serving – you want the cheese to come to room temperature.
  • Meats can and should come out around 15-minutes before serving.
  • Remove parts of the fat from prosciutto and jamón serrano for better nibbling.
  • Make sure to have different textures – nuts, fresh fruit and dried fruit add nice bites to the fairly repetitive meat and cheese.
  • Think about colors.
  • Cut the cheeses different ways – cubes, slices, blocks – all add different variations for the eye.
