Make a Stunning Homemade Cheese Platter with These 5 Useful Tips

Aperitif.ph has some of the most beautiful spreads out there: jam-packed boards of deli meat, cheese, crackers, and everything between make for the best addition to your dining table. Founder Kara Zulueta has useful tips on making a stunning cheese and meat platter of your own at home:

1 Collect trays from travels or from your local craftsmen. There are many local stores with amazing wooded trays made by Filipino tribes.

2 Always lay out the big cheeses first and work around them.

3 Handle the cold cuts lightly and allow them to breathe, don't just throw them in the platter. Take time to position them on by one.

4 Remember to fill out the remaining space left with olives, pickles, nuts, dried fruit or crackers.

5 Get creative, make patterns out of sliced cheeses, and go with the flow.
