Method
Prepare the Cheeses
Cut the Cheeses
Slice the Feta, Manchego, Goat, and Parmesan cheeses into bite-sized pieces or wedges for easy serving.
Arrange the Cheeses
On a large serving platter, arrange the cheese pieces artistically, placing different varieties in sections for visual appeal.
Prepare the Olives
Rinse the Olives
In a colander, rinse the Kalamata and Green olives under cold water to remove excess brine.
Combine the Olives
In a small bowl, mix the Kalamata, Green, and Stuffed Green olives together.
Add to Platter
Spoon the mixed olives onto the cheese platter, placing them beside the cheeses.
Add Garnishes
Garnish with Herbs
Place the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs evenly around the cheeses and olives for decoration and aroma.
Add Cherry Tomatoes
Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the platter to add color and freshness.
Add Nuts
Sprinkle the mixed nuts around the cheeses and olives to provide a crunchy texture.
