Liz Thorpe’s Mardi Gras Board
A colorful, New Orleans-inspired party platter from cheese expert Liz Thorpe
Hosting a Mardi Gras party? Don’t miss out on this cheese and charcuterie platter that is bursting with gold, green, and purple. Traditionally, gold represents power, green represents faith, and purple represents justice. We asked our friend and cheese expert Liz Thorpe to put together a colorful and delicious spread for Mardi Gras, and she came up with this eye-catching food party fit for a celebration. Featuring mouthwatering favorites like Murray’s Boerenkaas Gouda and Epoisses, plus blood sausage from Fabrique Delices and Castelvetrano olives, this specially-crafted board is as decadent as it is gorgeous.
