# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It proves you don't need to fuss to impress—just three perfect ingredients telling their own story.
  • Takes ten minutes but tastes like you've been planning something sophisticated.
  • Works for last-minute guests or those quiet moments when you want to treat yourself well.
02 -
  • The board is only as good as the moment it's served—cold cheese tastes flat, so give it ten minutes out of the fridge to wake up.
  • Quality matters here because there's nowhere to hide; three ingredients means each one has to be genuinely worth eating on its own.
03 -
  • Buy your cheese and ham from a proper counter where someone knows what they're selling—it changes everything about how the board tastes.
  • Set the board out fifteen minutes before serving so room temperature brings out the full depth of flavors that refrigeration had been muting.
