Cheese board

Abstract

A cheese platter containing a variety of cheeses chosen with a common theme that blend well together. The cheeses are placed on a decorative platter on which the cheeses can also be cut. The entire platter is vacuum sealed in a clear plastic such that the cheese can be readily viewed. This seal also preserves the cheese for consumption.

1 . A ready to serve cheese platter comprising;
 A serving board having a top surface, a bottom surface and at least three edges;   At least two cheeses placed on the top surface of the serving board, each of the cheeses having a geometrical shape with at least a bottom surface, a top surface and at least three side surfaces;   A top layer of plastic wrapping covering the cheeses and the top surface of the serving board such that the each top surface and side surface of each of the cheeses is completely encased in the top layer of plastic wrapping showing a three dimensional view of the cheeses; and   A bottom layer of plastic wrapping covering the bottom surface of the serving board sealed to the top layer of plastic wrapping to form a complete seal of the cheeses and the serving board.   
   
   
       2 . The ready to serve cheese platter of  claim 1  wherein the top layer of plastic wrapping is translucent. 
   
   
       3 . The ready to serve cheese platter of  claim 1  wherein the top layer of plastic wrapping is transparent. 
   
   
       4 . The ready to serve cheese platter of  claim 1  further including exterior packaging surrounding the serving board, cheeses, top and bottom layers of the plastic wrap. 
   
   
       5 . The ready to serve cheese platter of  claim 4  wherein the exterior packaging is a box. 
   
   
       6 . The ready to serve cheese platter of  claim 4  wherein the exterior packaging contains a description of the selection of cheeses. 
   
   
       7 . The ready to serve cheese platter of  claim 1  wherein the serving board can also be used as a cutting board. 
   
   
       8 . The ready to serve cheese platter of  claim 1  wherein the serving board is decoratively designed. 
   
   
       9 . The ready to serve cheese platter of  claim 1  wherein the cheeses are chosen from a certain region or country. 
   
   
       9 . A method of creating a ready to serve cheese board comprising the steps of:
 Choosing a serving board having a top surface, a bottom surface and at least three edges;   Selecting at least two cheeses to be placed on the top surface of the serving board;   Placing the at least two cheeses on the top surface of the serving board;   Placing a top plastic wrapping over the cheeses and the top surface of the serving board and extending the plastic layer just past the each of the edges of the serving board;   Placing a bottom layer of plastic wrapping covering the bottom surface of the serving board extending past each of the edges of the serving board to meet with the top layer of plastic wrapping;   Heating the top layer in a thermoforming machine so that the top layer softens such that it drapes over each top surface and side surface of each of the cheeses completely encasing the cheeses and the serving board in the top layer of plastic wrapping showing a three dimensional view of the cheeses;   Vacuuming out air between the top and bottom layer of plastic wrapping; and   Heat sealing the top and bottom layers of plastic wrapping at the edges of the serving board.
