It’s part of the Cheesewhizzes thing, right?
You know we use slate tiles to display the cheeses at each event.
They’re fine, they’re useful, they do the trick.

So when the Brooklyn Slate Company sent us one of their slate trays to check out, well, we were amazed.
Gorgeous quality,
gorgeous packaging and
gorgeous cheeseability.

From their site, “Boards come in red, gray, or black, with your choice of a natural or clean edge. Sourced from our family quarry in upstate New York, each cheese board is packaged in a burlap bag with soapstone chalk and anti-slip padded feet.”

We got a black slate with a natural edge — our recommendation as well — keeps cheeses looking classier than you knew they could.
