• Cube the white and yellow cheddar cheeses into bite-sized pieces.
• Slice the prosciutto and salami if necessary.
• Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly.

Start with the Olives:

• Begin at the middle-bottom of the Christmas tree-shaped board, placing a row of olives.

Layer the Prosciutto:

• Directly above the olives, add a layer of prosciutto. Fold or roll the slices to add texture and volume, keeping the shape of the tree.

Add the Yellow Cheddar:

• Next up, create a layer of yellow cheddar cubes. Make sure the layer is even and extends slightly narrower than the prosciutto layer.

Layer the White Cheddar:

• Next, add a layer of white cheddar cubes above the yellow cheddar.

Finish with Grapes at the Top:

• Place a cluster of grapes at the very top of the tree, just above the olives. This will create a festive and colorful “tree topper.”

Fill the Bottom Layer:

• Use the sliced salami to fill in the bottom layer of the tree. Arrange the salami slices neatly to create a solid base.

Create the Stem:

• Form the trunk of the tree by placing a small row of almonds at the bottom of the board.

Final Touches:

• Scatter cherry tomatoes or cranberries throughout the tree as “ornaments” for a pop of color.
• Add sprigs of rosemary around the board for a festive, holiday feel.
