The Best of Point Reyes Cheese Board

A beautiful blue spread of California’s best

This original cheese platter is an ode to one of California’s most popular makers! Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. has been crafting award-winning cheeses for 20 years, using the local grasses and sea air from the Pacific Coast as inspiration for the bright flavors in their famous cheeses. For this board, we’ve selected their Original Blue, Bay Blue, and Cornelia, which is aged in our Caves, to build a snackable spread that’s rich and savory, complemented by a rustic Italian salami, chocolate covered almonds, artisanal crackers, a black cherry jam, and fresh figs.

SHOP INGREDIENTS & PAIRINGS FOR THIS RECIPE BELOW

Prep

Slice the Cornelia into even-sized squares, and partially or fully chunk both blue cheeses.
Slice the Genoa Salami into even-sized coins.
Cut fresh figs into halves.

Start by placing the cheese wedge on its side which is large and flat.

Hold the cheese firmly with one hand. Insert your knife vertically with the pointed side down (perpendicular to the cutting board) into the cheese near the edge of the wedge. Wiggle the knife until a large crumble pulls away from the wheel. Repeat along the edge of the cheese until you get the desired amount of crumbled cheese.

A soft wedge with a washed or bloomy rind just needs to be sliced from the side.

Portion the slice into smaller pieces with an equal rind-to- paste ratio.

Assembly

On a rectangular board, place an empty jar just below center. In the top two corners, place the chunked blue cheeses. Make a curved line of Cornelia slices through the middle of the board, snaking around the jar.
Make two neat piles of salami coins, one in the bottom left corner, and the other on the top edge of the board between the Cornelia and blue cheese.
Fill the bottom right corner of the board with Raincoast Crisps.
Create a curving line of Piedras de Chocolate along the left side of the Cornelia slices, stretching from the top to the bottom of the board.
Fill the jar with Black Cherry Confit.
Fill the empty space in the bottom left corner of the board with fresh sliced figs.
