1. Choose 3-4 different types of cheese that vary in texture and flavor. Arrange them on a large platter, leaving enough space between each cheese to accommodate the accompaniments.
2. Add a selection of mixed nuts, such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, or pistachios, on the platter. You can either mix the nuts together or arrange them separately.
3. Add some dried fruits, such as apricots, figs, dates, or cranberries, to the platter.
4. Drizzle some honey over the cheese and nuts.
5. Add some olives and crackers to the platter.
6. Garnish the platter with fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or basil.
7. Optional: If desired, add some cured meats, such as prosciutto or salami, to the platter.
