Looking for a new cheese board for your home kitchen or gift giving? Go for a bamboo cheese board! These are the best bamboo cheese and charcuterie servers you can buy in 2022, plus why we love this beautiful, durable, and sustainable material for all kinds of cheese servingware.
The Benefits of Bamboo Cheese Boards
We love bamboo cheese boards because they offer the warm look of wood plus sturdy construction and better durability against warping, cracking, and breakage. They’re lighter than wood and tend to be easier to clean and maintain. Best of all, bamboo—which is actually a grass—is a more sustainable material than wood because it grows so quickly.
How to Shop for a Bamboo Cheese Server
If you want to buy a bamboo cheese board, you’ll want to consider a few different factors as you shop, including size, finish, and affordability.
If you have a small household or like to serve individual cheeses on their own boards when entertaining, a smaller board is ideal. Conversely, if you love the look of a big, beautifully styled cheese board on your table, a larger board makes more sense.
We recommend purchasing unfinished cheese boards. Why? Because if the surface of a finished cheese board gets scratched, you can’t fix it—but it’s easy to buff out a nick or stain in an unfinished bamboo cheese server with fine-grain sandpaper. You can also oil an unfinished board to create a water-resistant surface, restore its original luster, and help the board last longer.
When it comes to cost, bamboo boards are typically much more affordable than solid wood cheese boards. Look for formaldehyde-free boards with multi-ply construction, a smooth finish, and good care instructions to get the best value.
The Best Bamboo Cheese Boards
These boards offer tougher-than-wood durability in warm, lightweight, and eco-friendly bamboo. All of our boards are made from three-ply, unfinished bamboo that’s three times stronger than solid oak.
Classico Bamboo Cheese Server
We use bamboo for the Cheese Grotto’s shelving because it’s strong, sustainable, easy to clean, and virtually unbreakable. Those same qualities make our Classico Bamboo Cheese Server—which doubles as a removable shelf in the Grotto Classico—such a versatile board for everyday snacking or a festive event.
This bamboo cheese server’s concave edges make it easy to grip, while its compact, lightweight construction makes it easy to clean and carry. This board won’t warp, break, or crack the way wooden cheese boards can with improper handling.
Square Bamboo Cheese Board
Looking for the perfect cheese board gift? Check out our Square Bamboo Cheese Board, which is the perfect size to build a delicious spread for one or two. It’s made of the same tough, triple-layer bamboo as our other boards, but its thin profile means it's light and easy to bring along to a picnic or potluck.
Even better, this charming bamboo cheese server fits snugly inside our Build Your Own Box packages so that you can customize a bundle of delicious cheeses, accompaniments, and a long-lasting, beautiful board for your intended recipient.
Large Bamboo Cheese Board
Choose between the grooved side, which offers a visual highlight for your cheese display, or use the smooth side to style this elegant board with cheeses and accompaniments all the way to the edge. Like our other bamboo cheese boards, the Adagio is stronger than solid wood and resistant to cracking and warping.
