Notes

Refrigerate: If you're not serving the board immediately, store it in the refrigerator. Just be mindful of the cheeses — bring them to room temperature before serving for the best taste.
Cover with Plastic Wrap: To keep your board fresh, cover it tightly with plastic wrap. This helps preserve the flavors and prevent drying out.
Airtight Containers: For leftover ingredients, store them separately in airtight containers. This ensures freshness for future use.
