A cheese board with honey and olive oil

Boosh the Beekeeper clover honey and Rammah Farms Coratina olive oil on one board — floral sweetness on one side, peppery brightness on the other, and how to set them out.

A good cheese board needs two things on the side: something sweet and something green. Boosh the Beekeeper clover honey and Rammah Farms Coratina olive oil cover both, and they pull a board in two directions that meet in the middle.

Boosh the Beekeeper slow-harvests the clover honey in the Egyptian countryside — gentle in flavour, clean in ingredients, the kind of honey that lifts a soft cheese without burying it. A spoonful over warm brie, or trickled across a wedge of blue, is the easiest upgrade a board has.

Rammah Farms grows the Coratina olive variety in the Egyptian sun and cold-presses it at first press. The oil pours green-gold and finishes peppery, with bright notes of citrus and green apple. Poured into a dish for dipping, it does for the hard cheese and the bread what the honey does for the soft — adds depth without taking over.

Put them at opposite ends of the board and let people move between them. Walnuts and figs sit happily in the gap; a few Linah Farms Medjool dates do the same if figs are out of season.

Floral sweetness on one side, peppery brightness on the other. Set out together, they make a board feel considered with almost no work.

The recipe

6 things · 5 steps

What you need

  • Boosh the Beekeeper clover honey (Egyptian Pure Clover Honey 480g)
  • Rammah Farms Coratina extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 aged hard cheese and 1 soft cheese
  • A handful of walnuts
  • Fresh figs or Linah Farms Medjool dates
  • Crusty bread, torn

Method

  1. Bring the cheeses to room temperature for half an hour so the flavours open up.
  2. Arrange the cheese, walnuts, and figs or dates loosely on a board with the torn bread.
  3. Spoon the clover honey into a small dish and set it beside the soft cheese.
  4. Pour the Coratina olive oil into a second dish for the hard cheese and the bread.
  5. Drizzle a little honey over the soft cheese just before serving, and leave the oil for people to dip into.
