Summer Stone Fruit Cheese Board
A Summer Stone Fruit Cheese Board, made on the Big Board, is a fruit spread of peaches, nectarines and apricots with burrata cheese.
When thinking about a cheese board for summer, stone fruit is the perfect sweetness to pair with cheese and honey! I love peach season, specifically, and then there are plums and nectarines! So good.

Peace and Plenty Farm
Friends, this cheese board was inspired by my visit to Peace and Plenty Farm in California. We tried their Saffron Infused Raw Honey—amazing!
When I saw this small jar, and I met the owner, Melinda, I knew we needed to try it. If you’re in the Clear Lake area, visit their gorgeous sustainable farm. It was so impressive. Their farm was also featured in Martha Stewart’s Living magazine last fall.
Do peaches go well with cheese?
Oh, yes, the sweet-and-savory combination of fresh peaches and burrata cheese is one of our favorite appetizer combinations, so good for a light summer dinner.
What cheese goes with stone fruit?
Cheese is amazing with stone fruit. Think Brie, a smoky blue cheese, or a mellow burrata. A stronger cheese goes well with a sweet piece of fruit. The stronger the cheese, the sweeter the fruit should be.
What cheese goes with nectarines?
A creamy cheese goes well with a nectarine!
What is stone fruit?
Peaches, nectarines, plums, pluots, apricots, and sweet cherries. Fruit that has stones in the middle! Stone fruit is the epitome of summer, in my mind.
Every time we make a cheese board for friends, I seem to rediscover how delicious it is, the amazing flavors of burrata cheese with stone fruit.
ENJOY!

I came here from Seaside Simplicity to see your board meals, and wow, you went to Peace and Plenty Farm? What a coincidence, I went to high school with Melinda! We are acquaintances more than friends, but I’ve watched her move from San Francisco to the farm with great interest over the years on Facebook. Very cool.
Your board meals look amazing, and this stone fruit version is perfect for the in season fruit here in Northern California right now.
That is so cool. Loved meeting her and seeing all of their beauty in CA!
