“Forget everything you think you know about cheese boards.”
That’s the advice from Elle Maward, founder and creative director of Beauty & The Board, a new South Florida company that sells luxury grazing boards – with all the trimmings.
“We source premium fresh produce, artisanal cheese and charcuterie, and delightful accoutrements that are arranged into unique showcases,” she writes on the website. “Each board is designed to pair flavors and elements to keep you grazing for more.”
Among the offerings: the Brooklyn, with smoked salmon, tomato, capers, red onion, cucumber, radish, jalapeño, hard-boiled egg, lemon and microgreens, and Berries and Brie, with various cheeses, berries, apple, figs, crackers, glazed mixed nuts, truffled marcona almonds, pomegranate seed garnish and honey. Custom boards are also available.
Maward decided to go into business for herself after receiving praise for the cheese boards she created for family and friends.
“In early 2019, a family friend asked if I could make one as a gift for one of their friends and if I could deliver it,” she recalls. “Minutes later, I agreed, and Beauty & The Board was born.”
She uses environmentally sustainable birchwood boards, packaging and disposable products in addition to organic
produce, herbs and edible flowers, when possible.
