Creating a beautiful grazing board doesn’t have to be intimidating. With just a few styling principles and some well-chosen ingredients, you can create a spread that’s as stunning as it is delicious. Here are our top five tips:

1. Start with structure. Place your anchor items first — cheeses, dips, bowls of olives or nuts — and build around them.

2. Mix textures. Soft brie, crunchy crackers, juicy grapes — aim for variety on every bite.

3. Think in odd numbers. Groups of 3 or 5 elements create visual balance and feel more natural than symmetry.

4. Roll, fold, layer. Salami roses, cascading cheddar slices, fanned-out fruit — presentation makes all the difference.

5. Don’t forget the garnish. Herbs, edible flowers or honeycomb add that final flourish.

Want to skip the prep and enjoy the perfection? That’s what we’re here for. But if you’re feeling inspired — these tips will help your next at-home graze shine.
