5 Best Cheese Boards Your Happy Hour Is Missing

This Bambusi cheese board is a no-brainer. Not only is it a a cheese board, but it's also an entire set, complete with cutlery and grooves to hold crackers, nuts, or olives. It's made of bamboo, which won't stain or absorb odor, so it'll hold up over time. When you're finished, you can close the cutlery drawer for compact storage. 

If you've already got your favorite set of cheese knives and are just looking for a basic board to get the job done, you can't go wrong with this Ironwood Gourmet model. The handle makes it easy to grab and carry, and the acacia wood helps minimize wear and tear from knives. Pro tip: If any bumps form on the board, you can buff them out with fine grain sand paper!

A cheese board is going to be on display, so it needs to look good. This wood board is failsafe—the raw bark edge provides a natural, artisanal look, while the wood (made from olive trees), it's seriously stunning. Note: Because each piece is cut from olive trees, they'll vary in size and color. 

We love this cheese board not only because it comes in under $15, but because you always get a cutlery set with it, too! It's made of 100% natural bamboo, and the knife drawer conceals for more compact storage. The board is ideal for cutting as well as serving. 

You need a board that's compact for storage, but you also want to make sure you have enough room for your entire cheese spread. That's why we love this Shanik model—the circular cheese board expands for extra space. If that's not enough, you also get three knives with it!
