A great cheese board is less about following rules and more about giving people something to graze on happily for hours. And if you want to take yours from good to genuinely memorable, herb salts are your new best friend.
Scattered across a board, our herb salts add flavour, texture, and a beautiful visual contrast โ and they pair brilliantly with everything from creamy brie to sharp cheddar.
Building your board
Start with 3โ4 cheeses covering different textures and strengths โ something soft (brie or camembert), something hard (aged cheddar or manchego), something crumbly (stilton or feta), and a wildcard (goatโs cheese works beautifully here).
The herb salt pairings
- Original Italian with aged cheddar or manchego โ the rosemary and thyme cut through the richness perfectly
- Dill, Lemon & Garlic with soft goatโs cheese or cream cheese โ bright and fresh
- Chilli & Garlic (if you like a little heat) with stilton or a strong blue โ bold meets bold
Place small pinch bowls or ramekins of herb salt around the board so guests can dip, sprinkle, and experiment. Add crackers, sourdough slices, grapes, figs, honey, and a handful of walnuts to fill it out.
The finishing touch
A light sprinkle of herb salt directly over a wedge of soft brie just before serving. It looks beautiful and tastes even better.
This is the kind of spread that works for Easter Sunday, a spring bank holiday gathering, or honestly any excuse to open a good bottle of wine.
