Slate cheese boards

We're big cheese eaters around here (ob-vi-ous-ly), and one of the best purchases we've made was a Brooklyn Slate cheese board. The dark color makes cheeses look bright and beautiful, and you can label them with a soapstone pencil. And the company sells not only cheese boards, but also packages of a campfire kit or a ploughman's satchel. Would make a great gift for a hostess (or just a hungry friend).

  1. Hi Joanna! I was wondering whether it's possible to cut food on a slate board with a normal (not cheese) knife? They are quite brittle, aren't they? I've been considering using them at our wedding, but not knowing has made me unsure of buying them :)

  4. Joanna - you have teased me with a post regarding a four day trip to Italy... please please post that soon. I am dying to go to Italy. But I think its too expensive and I just don't know how to organize that trip? Just go for four days to one city, or go for 15 days and see multiple cities? Or should I just make it easy on myself and travel down the eastern seaboard... also high on my to-do list. Anyhow.. please... tell me about the 4 day trip to italy.

  7. I have a cheese slate board and I love it! It's fun to use different colors to write on. Sometimes we use ours as a tray for a signature cocktail when gets come over and we write the steps of what to make on the board!

  9. To say I'm obsessed with cheese is an understatement. As soon as I buy my own home (hopefully at the end of the year) I am throwing a classy party with cheese. I have to get this and everything else they sell. Now I just need to find some classy friends. Joanna, you find the raddest products.

  14. My husband is from France, so growing up with a family who didn't really eat anything other than Cheddar, it's been hard to appreciate cheese like my husband does. He says, "The smellier, the better!"

  26. Great idea for a hostess gift! I'm keeping this in mind for me too!

  27. Is there a reason not to just go to a tile store and buy a slate tile? Nonstick feet are cheap, as is sidewalk chalk for labeling your cheeses. I love the idea of the smores kit and all, but the fact that they are mostly unavailable makes me think this wouldn't be an unreasonable DIY.

  28. This just looks DELISH! And lovely cheese board :)

  30. I love the look of slate as a cheese board, but I'm a girl on a budget, so I went to Lowe's and bought inexpensive slate tiles -- like a dollar each, and then i line them up - a different cheese on each slate with its name in chalk written on the tile. Cheap, yet chic!

  38. Did you scoop food52?? http://shop.food52.com/deal/14918/go-to-the-head-of-the-class-with-slate-cheese-board-sets-from-brooklyn-slate/national No wonder Brooklyn Slate Co. is sold out.

  39. This is the sort of thing that makes me want the the type of person who arranges cheeses and saucissons on a slate board. Unfortunately we're still at that cutting-on-the-counter-and-eating-over-the-sink point.

  40. Actually, Joanna, it looks like Brooklyn Slate set aside some of its boards for the food52 offer. If people go to the food52shop and click on the link to buy them there at a discount, then they should be able to purchase a 10x14 or 5x18 board.
