What’s a Caprese Cheese Board?

Caprese is an Italian term that refers to the combination of fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, salt, olive oil, and sweet basil. Simple yet SO delicious! Traditionally served as a type of salad, it has also been added to pizzas, pastas, and even sandwiches. Here, we’re going pull inspiration from this classic and flavorful combination of ingredients to create a festive cheese board that’s a guarantee to please!


Candy canes have long since been a Christmas symbol, since 1847 to be exact. The classic red and white look instantly makes people think of Christmas time. If you are expecting a large crowd and want to wow them, consider making two separate candy canes and placing them near each other to create almost a candy cane heart, how sweet is that! This fresh recipe with a touch of sweetness from the balsamic glaze will certainly make the perfect addition to any party spread. 

More Ways to Prepare This Candy Cane Cheese Board

To be considered a traditional caprese you would need to use real mozzarella and tomatoes, however if you want to offer an alternative for a younger crowd consider making a candy cane completely out of cheese, Yellow and white cheese alternating can create a candy cane look. You can also offer some crackers on the side instead of just bread as well. Kids tend to love regular cheese and crackers! If you are lucky enough to have access to yellow tomatoes they also are very tasty and can be used to create different colored candy cane spreads!
