This board brings together three standout cheeses — nutty Comté or Gruyère, sharp aged cheddar, and buttery Manchego — arranged with room to breathe so each one gets its moment. Clusters of fresh grapes and halved strawberries add juicy color, while toasty walnut halves and squares of dark chocolate fill the gaps with crunch and richness. A drizzle of maple syrup over the walnuts and a small bowl of Dijon for the cheddar bring sweet and sharp notes into the mix, and a few sprigs of rosemary or thyme finish it off beautifully. The crackers here are chosen specifically to keep the whole spread gluten free, so nobody has to skip the board to get their cracker fix. Letting everything come to room temperature before serving really does make a difference — the cheeses turn soft and fragrant, and every bite feels a little more indulgent. It's an easy, crowd-pleasing option for a gluten free gathering, no matter the occasion.

Remove all cheeses from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving and let them come to room temperature — this allows the flavors and aromas to fully develop.
Place the three cheeses on the large board, spacing them apart so guests can easily access each one. Arrange the Comté, aged cheddar, and Manchego in different areas of the board, with a cheese knife near each.
