Three luxurious ingredients arranged elegantly for an exquisite tasting experience.

# Components:

→ Cheese

01 - 2.8 oz aged Comté, sliced

# Directions:

01 - On a clean serving board, visually divide the space into three equal sections.

03 - Fold and layer the Jamón Ibérico attractively in the second third of the board.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It proves that restraint creates elegance, letting three perfect ingredients speak louder than a crowded board ever could.
  • Takes ten minutes but feels like you've invested thought and care in every detail.
02 -
  • Room temperature is non-negotiable here—cold dulls the subtle nuttiness of the Comté and makes the ham seem rubbery and flavorless.
  • The magic of this board is entirely in the restraint and the spacing; overcrowding it turns it back into every other cheese board you've ever seen.
03 -
  • Buy your Comté from a reputable cheese shop where they understand aging and can recommend the perfect level of nuttiness for your taste.
  • Jamón Ibérico varies widely in price; even mid-range versions will impress, but always slice it fresh or ask the counter to do it just before you leave the shop.
