Best Spring Cheese Board Ideas with Seasonal Fruit + Herbs
Build the Perfect Spring Cheese Board
Why Chèvre Is Our Spring Favorite
Spring is kind of magical when it comes to goat cheese. You’ll start seeing those creamy little chèvres (that’s the fancy French word for goat cheese) popping up everywhere—and for good reason. This time of year, goats finally get to wander outside and graze in fresh, green fields sprinkled with wildflowers, herbs, and all that sweet spring goodness. All of that flavor ends up in their milk, which means the goat cheese that follows is extra bright, creamy, and delicious. Basically, springtime = goat cheese season, and we are here for it.
Chèvre is a soft, fresh goat cheese with a bright white color and creamy texture. It has a tangy, slightly citrusy flavor that makes it ideal for pairing with spring produce. It also spreads beautifully and adds a sophisticated flair to any board.

-
Fresh strawberries (bright + juicy)

Honeycomb (natural sweetness)
