Let’s be honest, a cheese board isn’t just a slab of wood or slate. It’s a stage for the stars of snackdom: cheddar, brie, and whatever that fancy one with the blue veins is. So why settle for plain when you can personalise?
Whether it’s a wedding gift, a birthday surprise, or just because someone really loves cheese (respect), engraving your board turns it into a keepsake they’ll slice and smile over for years.
