I love the fact that you named membrillo, I believe not a lot of people knows about it here in the USA. I used to live in Argentina and over there is super popular. Amazing presentation!

Super video...definitely worth the watch!  I also like placing everything on parchment paper: 1) I can label the cheeses so folks know what they're enjoying and 2) super easy clean up :) Thanks Claire!

I love these tips. I've never heard of roasted grapes but they look very elegant and I will definitely try it next time. I never thought of doing a theme usually I go with 3, soft, hard and medium but I'll try to think of a theme next time.

I have a challenge for you! Can you do a cheese board without cheese? I can't have cheese.
