The Ramadan Hosting Board
Whether you need a satisfying spread for iftar or something celebratory for Eid, our Ramadan Hosting Board is the perfect centerpiece for gathering with friends and family. It starts with our Ramadan Collection, which includes two crowd-pleasing vegetarian cheeses—tangy, earthy Merry Goat Round and nutty, snackable High Plains Cheddar. For the board, the collection's chutney, olives, and caramelized nuts are joined by other sweet and savory eats—dried and fresh fruit, hummus and pita chips, and more snackable favorites.

Step 1
Arrange the serving pieces: Start with a circular board, moon- and star-shaped trays, long oval container, and three small bowls. Place the moon-shaped tray with the top tip of the crescent at 12 o'clock and the curve moving down the left side of the board. Place the star-shaped tray at 6 o'clock and the long oval container from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock. Place bowl 1 between 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock, bowl 2 diagonally down to the left, and bowl 3 bowl toward the center of the board, resting on the bottom tip of the moon.
Step 2
Add the cheese: Place the High Plains Cheddar around 1 o'clock, between the moon and the bowl, with the intact piece toward the outside of the board and the crumbles moving toward the moon. Place the Merry Goat Round at 7 o'clock next to the star.
Step 3
Arrange the crackers in the space between the Merry Goat Round, the moon, and the edge of the board.
Step 4
Add the walnuts in a pile in the space between the Merry Goat Round, moon, star, and bowl 3, stopping an inch shy of bowl 2.
Step 5
Add the mango chutney to bowl 3 and the olives to one half of the long oval container.
Step 6
Fill in the rest of the oval container with pita chips. Add hummus to bowl 1 and pesto to bowl 2. Add the dried apricots to the star-shaped tray. Place the green grapes starting at the High Plains Cheddar and cascading down to fill in the top part of the moon.
Step 7
Fill in the rest of the moon with dried cherries. Fill in the center of the board with mandarin oranges and grape tomatoes.
