Marble Quarry Cheese Display (Printable)

Blue cheese and white cheddar chunks artistically arranged on marble for a flavorful cheese board.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cheeses

01 - 7 oz blue cheese (e.g., Roquefort, Gorgonzola, or Stilton), cut into large irregular chunks
02 - 7 oz aged white cheddar, cut into large irregular chunks

→ Accompaniments (optional)

03 - Fresh grapes or sliced pears, for serving
04 - Assorted crackers or crusty bread
05 - Honey or fig jam, for drizzling

# Directions:

01 - Place the marble slab on a flat surface or serving table.
02 - Scatter large irregular chunks of blue cheese and white cheddar across the marble slab, spacing pieces to resemble a quarry.
03 - Optionally tuck fresh grapes or pear slices and small bowls of honey or jam among the cheeses for flavor and visual interest.
04 - Present with crackers or crusty bread on the side.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It requires zero cooking skill but looks like you spent hours thinking about flavor and presentation.
  • The blue and white cheddar together create this perfect tension between bold and subtle that keeps people reaching back.
  • You can prep it in under ten minutes and honestly impress anyone who walks into your kitchen.
02 -
  • Size your cheese chunks generously—small pieces get lost on marble and lose their individual character; big, irregular pieces make each selection feel significant.
  • The temperature of the marble matters more than you'd think; a cold slab keeps the cheese from sweating and looking sad within thirty minutes.
03 -
  • Buy your cheeses the day you plan to serve; they'll taste sharper and cleaner than if they've been sitting in the fridge for a week.
  • If you don't have a marble slab, a large flat piece of slate or even a light wooden board works, but marble genuinely does something special—the coolness and weight feel ceremonial.
